Went from 100k to 31k achievements on my steam profile, did they remove the count from them "rubbish" games?
Also about 20-25 perfect games are removed and average games played count also lowered.

"I think what you're seeing here is a visibility fix for games that were already banned. These were erroneously not removed from some profile-visible features when banned. That bug was fixed with a server update yesterday.
Note this only applies to games that were banned - games that are retired at the request of a publisher or developer are unaffected."

If your profile seems unchanged make sure to have atleast 1 new achievement after the update date.
You can't also show those removed achievements in your showcase anymore.

I wonder how Meadow is going to be affected. The game has 134 achievements, and the developers have been continuously adding them for years. The latest one was less than a week ago. It seems like a big waste on their part to add rotating statues to the games tied to achievements just to have to get rid of them :/

To get that to work I had to enable an Achievement showcase on my profile and then get an achievement. I think it won't update without a showcase.

I lost only 2 achievements and 1 game (looks like it was Color Syndrome) although I think there is more since the count keep changing the past few days, but the Resident Evil 2 1-Shot Demo still counts on my perfect games, even though it was removed from the store

And they give mostly full cv at sg....

My ticket from over one year ago got "half handled" but that staff member weren't capable to set a timestamp so he pushed it away and after 5 months of questioning why nothing happen -and lazy answers like "i haven't found the exact date.. will look for it" (of course more then one time)- i gave up.

Thousands of cv for free (it gave a source for around 150k keys of that games)

It would seem the update was undone and the spam achievements are back...

Well, on my end it's acting up, after earning another achievement the count dropped once again.
But it's weird that it doesn't stay still, I don't feel like having to earn an achievement everyday to keep the count low, clearly something isn't right, oh well.

That doesn't sound at all like the Steam Support I know..
What's even with that on-topic, responsive, detailed, and professional response?
Where's the monkey noises and the flung poop and the bizarre, chatbot-like responses? :/

Hey I know this thread is old but my achievements decreased and I don't know why from 1955 to 1737 and perfect games went from 32 to 29.
The games that were removed are: Zombie Driver HD,Shadow Warrior Classic and The Darkness 2.The thing is that,I don't understand why,the games are in my library/available for purchase.Does anyone have an idea ?

If you read the whole thread, you would notice the numbers fluctuate a lot - both with legit games and the crap games too. Don’t worry about it.

I haven't really taken notice much of it lately, but i think the amount of perfect games and total amount of achievements also dropped for me.
Currently i think the crap games have eventually all been taken out now (atleast i didn't gather achievements in those for months) so it seems legit ones have for now dropped (could be just temporary) we have to wait and see.

I am a bit autistically hunting numbers on steam profile so I made a screenshot for 5.555 achievements 2 days prior new year, and today I noticed its 5.219, this is first time I noticed something like this, I have screenshots of my profile for last 10 years, and number was smoothly growing

Someone with actual proof, let us know if it drops more or goes back.

Earning a new achievement brought it back to normal, last I remember I was around 5560 playing Witcher 3, so 5563 seems right

Forgot to mention, I never had, nor collected "1 dollar trash games" on my account

Maybe writing steam support, they can shed some light into it?

My replay says i gotten 12731 achievements, seems a bit much.
