Would you like to hide all giveaways for ______? [Yes]

Open

30,005 to be exact, games and DLCs that I have hidden on Steamgifts.

I hide a lot of giveaways because I really only enter for games I'm going to play and probably enjoy.
I'm really not interested in a lot of genres on Steam, and I find myself hiding more and more games.
Hidden object? No thanks. Visual novel? Nah. Hentai tentacle milf puzzle? No for the 100th time, seriously stop already.

Anyway, as I said last time, people like me hiding games is a good thing for some of you that want to add to your ever-growing collection. It's good that Steamgifts gives everyone the choice to pick and choose what they like, and whether you're just entering giveaways for +1 to your library, or you've had it wishlisted for months, or you just can't resist another open-world early access survival crafting game... go for it. Enjoy the games, enjoy entering and giving away something, because there's always someone who will appreciate winning. The giveaways keep on flowing thanks to tens of thousands of awesome Steamgifts members.

For newcomers, or those who forgot, you can find how many games you have hidden here:

2016: I had hidden over 9000! games, which was cause for my first celebration of this kind.
2019: I hit 20,000 and figured it was a good reason for another celebratory giveaway discussion thread.
2022: Yay, 30,000 fewer games clogging up my front page!
2025: Can I make it to 40,000? Probably, considering how many games are released each month.

So I guess you were hoping there might be some AAA giveaways in here? Sorry to disappoint. It really wouldn't be fitting, would it?
But if you're looking for some hot trash, I've got your covered! (Just kidding, there's some good ones in here too, some of which I own already)

All aboard...

I USED TO use it to hide games I knew I didn't want. TBH that's a wasteful use of it most of the time. Most of the absolute garbage I'd never want is OBVIOUSLY stuff I'd never want (sports games, shooters, etc). A lot of it is stuff that they stopped making key codes for 10 or more years ago. I used to hide games that showed up too much and took up lots of screen space. Nowadays there's so many different titles from so many different sites that games I don't want don't bother me. I'd prefer not to make the web server have to work so hard consulting a list of several thousand titles each time it shows the list of giveaways. Nowadays I only use it that way if the title SOUNDS LIKE something I'd want to play but I look at it and it isn't (totally wrong genre, completely negative ratings, etc).

What I really use it for nowadays is the most useful use there is! To hide DLCs I already own. If I click a DLC (which Steamgifts has no way of knowing I own) and I already own it, I hide it. Likewise with the occasional bundle I've got everything within (say I've got the GOTY edition or whatever they call that "game + all the DLC there is" pack.
