You can now hide games from your library on Steam

Is this account wide or on a per machine basis? I use Steam on three different machines, hope I don't have to go through my paltry list of 200 games three times :(

Is there something wrong with the GOTY version of Arkham City?
 
goodbye dups and betas!

and no, i will never hide my dare/drunk/forced/3am "sure why not" buys.

i've also just become aware i don't own bad rats....99 cent you say....

it's a silly repeat that appeared out of the blue if you got the original early since now it's the only version there is

I actually changed the icon of the GOTY edition and hid the regular

was messing with my custom icons as you can see
 
Updating to the beta client just for this.

Now to get rid of a bunch of bundle fodder that I'll never even touch.
 
Wow, I just noticed they have fixed the sorting of the games too sometime in the last months. Dark Souls 2 is now listed below Dark Souls 1 and the Witcher games are in the correct order. Thanks GabeN.

Now let me rename games so I can remove the ™s and ®s and I can die in peace.
 
The extreme backlog clearing measure for the undecided: hide all your games and pick like 10 you want to play in short-term and act like that's your whole library. Repeat the process.

EDIT: Lol just tried hiding all of my games and now I can't find the hidden folder.

Does anyone else find it suspicious that they implement this feature just a few weeks before Hatoful Boyfriend is released on Steam?

Even if someone hides it, it only hides in their library it doesn't get removed from their public profile "ALL GAMES" on their Steam profile like Sony does the achievements someone hides on PSN.

Which is fine, people have been wanting an easier to manage library system. Hiding things you have no intention to play/finished is a good step while leaving what you've bought available to people that want to check those out.
 
Lol. So if we buy a game we hate we can hide it. Terrific. So glad we can't just sell it like we could a retail copy. THAT would be a terrific feature.
 
Kinda doubt it.

Yeah, saw the updates notes:

  • Add "Hide this game in my library" functionality, accessible from the Set Categories menu. Games that are hidden will not show up in library filters except for a new filter called "Hidden", which will only appear once at least one game is marked as hidden. Hidden games are still available for play and will still appear on the user's profile.
 
Now they need to make it so the game is hidden in your profile too. Me having 13 hours in Zombie Ravaged Apocalypse will forever be my greatest shame in Steam.
 
Alright, here's what I hid to give you ideas, since everything I hid is either a beta or an obsolete version of a game (for example there's no need for COH and it's expansions since there's a new steam version that has everything in one launcher, or QUBE or The Whispered World since they have Special Editions).
