May non-steam games from your library get you in trouble?

That is absolute nonsense.

That might be applicable only for Steamwork games (like Civ V, Modern Warfare 2 etc). Otherwise, it's safe even that rumor is true.

Do you know that you can name a non-steam game whatever you want? How will such an auto-ban system work then?

If they did that, then we would sue them for privacy invasion :lol:

it's BS. you can own games off steam after all ;)

if your pirating games, why would you even add it to your library as a non-steam game...

This seems like a roundabout way of asking if its possible to get banned for playing pirated games.

But since you just wanna be sure, lets make this clear. Steam will not (make that NEVER) ban you for playing a non Steam game. To my best knowledge it can't scan your computer as that would be against most if not every privacy laws in many countries.

What it can ban you for, is if you have a steam exclusive game such as Skyrim etc running as a non steam game (which would clearly mean that your game is pirated and well, you are an idiot to even get it associated to your steam account).

It's a complete sack of feces (not sure if I can swear).

Steam allows you to add Non-Steam Games for a reason.

It's total bullshit.

I guess there's nothing wrong if the game itself is freeware, say, the original La-Mulana (The steam version is a remake), Battle for Wesnoth, or GunGirl 2.

Lol. Rumor, Yeah. It's more a bullshit than rumor ;p
