Hiding games on SteamGifts

7,058 so far

14,744 at the moment. When you keep hiding the games you don't like or want to win, it isn't that much work over the years.

15,165 games have been added to your filter list. Let someone else who wants them, have them.
I hide games I know I wont play. Also hide DLCs if I dont have the base game (unhide them if I do get the game). And hide OSTs and artbooks.

I have on occasion unhidden a game when I come across it in a train and give it a second glance.

5k, btw, is there any kind of userscript for this?

Until about 1 hour ago I just hid games and DLCs that SG can't detect I already own. Because I always though: "what if I eventually discover that there is a hidden gem among all this crap?"

But while I was reading this thread, I started thinking: "why the hell am I doing this to myself?" So right now I'm hiding every shovelware and games I know I'll never play.

I suppose that wasn't your intention, necroshey. But thank you.

10,552 games hidden.

649.

16,604 at the moment and growing every time a new game I'm not interested in gets bundled/free.

I used to just use the wishlist page but having as many games as possibly hidden acts as a way for me to learn about good games I've never heard about before especially since I don't follow new releases/bundles and even if I did it's easy to end up missing some hidden indie gem of a game.

14,291 hidden so far.

10,875

1088 games hidden

14,899

20,026 and counting.
As for blacklisting, that's often tempting (especially if someone gives disgusting stuff like hentai in numbers), but blacklisting for giving away games still feels wrong.

131 hidden. All are either DLC or bundles/GOTY/complete editions of games SG doesn't detect as owned.
I simply don't browse any section other than the wishlist ones so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

15,892 so far. Once you get a big chunk of them out of the way, you only have to do a few at a time when you see them. Having the Giveaways page only show games that you're actually interested in makes it worth the effort, to me at least.

Only 14,047... :D I thought its a huge amount of hidden games, but as I see there are a lot more for some... :D
Total GAs I can see now are 72. :D

13,396

17,787 is my current number. There are too many games to remember which I don't plan on playing, so this helps entering only for those.

I have 14,846 so far. I mainly hid games I wouldn't ever play, but switched to hiding games I wouldn't want to play soon (amongst my already existing backlog, that is). It's why my hidden games on SG is definitely larger compared to my blacklisted games on barter. My reasoning is that when I look for games to play I usually look at SG wins first over ones I'd acquired myself since other people gifted them to me. Just a personal preference.

too many. 🤷 i keep hiding 2-3 games per day, the trash industry on steam is flourishing.

Wish there was an option to hide all games under 3 Euros

I've hidden 16,855 games so far. I try to enter only games that I'm interested in, either for myself or for my son.

I generally will insta-hide giveaways that are 5P or less. My theory is that either the game is terrible and I'm not interested in it, or the game is great and I'll just buy it myself. So in either case, I don't need to see giveaways for it.

My blacklist is empty, but I'd never blacklist someone just for making giveaways I'm not interested in. To each their own, and all that.

I have over 6,000 hidden so far. I painstakingly check out each individual game's Steam page unless I can from the title card that it's something I won't enjoy. I hide the the games rather than blacklist.

About 20 games hidden. I set my giveaway to only show wishlisted games and hide only that I got in the meantime :)

18,080 hidden games, and there are still almost 200 public giveaways available for me to enter 😮
