What makes you want to hide a game?

this

• games I already have in library but still can enter giveaway
• DLCs I am not intereseted in

30+ games which everyone is spamming giveaways for after being in a $1 Fanatical jumbo viva bundle

Games/dlc I have that I can still enter
Games I gave away prior
Games I got on bundles/monthlies I didn't want that I either traded away or made GA's for
Anything that is VR

anything I dont want to play, obviously

I know there was another discussion about this couldn't find it so I made a new one.

Other:

DLCs to games I don't own or I don't want.
Games I already have on Steam or GOG but still can enter giveaway.
Games from genres I don't like.
Games I think are shit.

That is why I have 2222 games hiden now.

i hide everything that doesn't interest me, be it a 10-cents asset flip or ac odyssey. 🤷

Reasons,
1- Already have that game, but was delisted on steam and steamgiveaways can't automatically hide it (like goo goo cubelets or parking rage simulator)
2- I take a look at the steam's page of the game, and I don't like it
3- It's a VR game (I don't play vr)

I hide everything pixel arted, as I don't understand it :)

I enter only GAs only for games that I think I will play and enjoy, everything else goes to the hidden list.
14,056 games have been added to your filter list.

I hide games by using only the wishlist tab.

I don't see what's not in my WL then.

Never hide games...nothing need to be hided...idk how to hide...

I hide everything I don't think I would play, which is the vast majority of games.
On SG I have about 14.5K games hidden, and on Steam about 33K set to ignore.

It's pretty simple. If I am not interested in playing the game, it gets hidden. Isn't that what everyone does? I don't really see any other reason to hide a game unless you already own a different version and it isn't automatically being hidden. I currently have 13,368 hidden.

Edit: Or maybe you were asking how we decide what type of games to hide. I commented about that in a previous thread here.

Always: visual novel, tower defense, card game, grand strategy, VR, match 3, board game, clicker, pinball, city builder, text-based, dating sim, 4X, management

Over 90% of the time: RPGmaker, sports, simulation, bullet hell, memes, rhythm, JRPG, turn based, hex grid, hacking, MOBA, roguelike, anime, sandbox, RTS, Economy, runner

75-90% of the time: strategy, zombies, hidden object, casual

Since I only enter wishlisted games I don't tend to hide games unless I have to much time on my hands and then I will go through a page or 2. By then unless its a dlc I recognise I own I will only hide them if I've checked them out on their store page. If I end up ignoring it I'll also hide it on here. If it doesn't have a store page then I'll assume the worst and auto hide them

Games I already have in library but still can enter giveaway.

VR games and some specific shit games.

I used to check out every game I hadn't heard of and hide everything I wouldn't want to play. Nowadays I instahide almost everything under 5p, except if the art triggers something which indicates quality in me, then I go and check it out.

View attached image.

9,440 games at the moment. I hide almost everything which is either not on my WL, or not on my follow list, or if its VR, mostly if its horror, or visual novel, hog, quite hard to tell :D

Nothing, I just ignore everything pretty much.

Just check wishlist and group as that often holds some interesting games.

Publics I just scroll through every blue moon. Less effort then trying to hide everything I don't like. I am 'hiding' everything I don't like I actually own on the backlog assassins site, and that is already way more work then I'd like it to be. Can't imagine the horror if I'd have to do the same for the whole of Steam's catalog. :P

So far I mostly use it for featured giveaways of games I consider hmm shady. Which I don't even want to enter by mistake. :P

Anime makes me do it..

I only hide DLCs of games that I don't have for obiously reasons xD I usually only enter in my wishlist/group if I find something interesting giveaways so I don't really care about hide other games.
