Valve has always been pretty awful at granular privacy. For the longest time, no settings between "hide literally everything" and "broadcast to everyone I know every time I purchase or play anything."

Still no setting between those two options, but at least it's on a game-by-game basis now.

Also the fact that on the steam deck there is no choice to add a pin before purchases is mind boggling to me. Hand it to a kid and they could run up serious bills.

As a matter of principle, I don't save my credit card number anywhere. It's a little more tedious when I make a purchase, but I've got my number memorized anyway, so it's not a big deal, and it's definitely more secure in that respect.

The process being tedious helps you think before purchasing too, so it's definitely a good thing in more ways than one.
