Private games' achievement appear in the profile

[Calabacin]

Setting a game as private does not prevent its achievements from appearing in the achievements page or in the profile's "rarest achievements" exhibitor.

In my opinion this beats the purpose of the private games functionality.

This is why it's still in beta. That is not how it's supposed to work.

What does "Mark Private" on a game do?

In general, marking a game as private will cause the game to appear to other users on the Steam platform as if you did not own it at all. If a game is marked as private:

• The game will no longer appear on your Steam Community profile games list, or in the recently played games section.
  
• Your status on the Friends List of other users or in chats will not change to "In Game".
  
• Your activity in the game (like achievement unlocks or "Played for the first time") will not appear in the Activity feed of people on your Steam Friends List.
  
• When a Steam Friend is browsing the Steam Store, your profile will not appear in the "Friends who own this game" section.
  
• If a Steam Friend attempts to buy a game as a gift that you have marked private, you will not show as already owning the game.
  
• Showcases on your Steam Community Profile will not show the game or achievements for the game (such as the "Rarest Achievements" showcase).
  
• You will not receive Steam Trading Cards for the game while it is marked as Private.
  
• If you have changed the "Game File Transfer over Local Network" setting to allow other users on the same network to download games, they will not be able to transfer games that have been marked as Private.

I assumed this was not the right behaviour, that is why I send a beta behaviour observation :-)

Thank you for pointing out the general thread for this. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
