Games Removed From Collection
Can we get a option to hide or minimize the list of games we filtered from that collection? The community sucks at selecting tags for games so you're bound to remove at least a few games if you made a collection based on a tag.

Example of what I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/qKi02Ei.jpg

As you can see when you have to hide a bunch of games it takes up quite a bit of space.

I agree with this and minimizing a list of excluded games from a collection would be better in my opinion than completely hiding it. There's a chance you might want to adjust your choice later on or perhaps you excluded a game by accident and actually want it back. Completely hiding all excluded games might make it harder to get them back to a dynamic collection. Minimizing it in a way that it doesn't take multiple rows but still reminds you that some games aren't part of the collection would make it look so much better. Max one row would be reasonable in my opinion.

I agree completely removing them would be a bad idea and would force you to recreate the collection if you make a mistake or change your mind about the game. They could completely hide it from normal view and when you click on the, 'Edit Dynamic Collections Filter' in the top right it'll show the list of games you removed from the collection.

I completely agree that,better to hide them or it will be messy.

They should only appear when we press the Collection settings button.

They changed it! Now you only see one tag with the number of games removed, like "11 removed".

Partially right...

You can see that thing your were naming PLUS you can see a list of games / software that had been removed by expanding the collections filters and you can now cross-out those removed / unfiltered games

I hope they will add the same functionality for the manually added games as well soon... :)

Oh yeah, I was just talking about the initial screen.

Ditto, but definitely looks a lot better already.

Kinda useless since that feature requires the collection to be self-managing. That is a feature is only give for dynamic collections so normal collections won't be changed anyways and for manually added games in dynamic collection... well normally people have a reason to add a game to that collection so lets say you have a dynamic collection collecting all games with achievements only and you add one single game manually without achievements. Each time you restart steam your manually added game will be removed and you have to re-add it even though you might have a reason to actually keep the game inside that particular collection even if it does not meet the selected tags...

Soooo... long story short: that feature won't happen and if it did it would be either useless or anoying

EDIT:
I hope I got your idea right...

"Each time you restart steam your manually added game will be removed and you have to re-add" Why? we don't have to remove again each game from our dynamic collections when we restart Steam.

The feature to add games to dynamic collections exist already. He simply means to make it so it just shows the number of games added instead of showing the entire title like they did with removed games from dynamics collections.

Oh you are right. They should have fixed both. Really strange to leave it like that.
