The more control over your privacy the better.
I was once (long ago) sick on Monday and my employer called me and told me that I should be able to come to work when I was able to play World of Warcraft on Sunday, because he looked my character up in the armory and saw me getting a boss kill or something.
I was sick, because I had my wisdom teeth removed on Monday morning....
People can get in all kinds of trouble because of their gaming habits. A game critical of religion or religious, a game about sexuality and/or gender, a political game about dictatorship or capitalism or unionizing. A historical game about something your country doesn't want you to know or a game that mentions Tian'anmen and Winnie-Puh. A game from a Russian developer that fled Russia when the war against Ukraine started and you are a gamer in Russia who wants to play it.
Good if Steam allows more control over our privacy, it took them long enough.

From your name I assume you are German. In that case your employer could suck it, even if you played on Monday. You can do whatever the fuck you want if it doesn't conflict with you getting better. So if the doctor advises to stay in bed and sleep and you run around town for fun you could rightfully get in trouble. But if you have a broken leg you might not be fit for (your particular) work but could of course still play computer games. If you are on sick leave for mental problems you could even go on vacation because that might even benefit your mental health.
go a step further who cares if hes out and about while sick your employer has you for the time youre working no more and usually less. the employer can suck a dick, your situation is probably different but if my boss was like "yo i see u gaming come to work", id quit on the spot.
always work the quality of your wage and remember that you arent paid enough.
I on the other hand, make full use of the share widgets on porn sites. Goddammit you'll know when I bust.
Which hand exactly?
Advertisers know.
Wouldn't be surprised to learn the smart watch manufacturers are selling your average time to nut to advertisers.

I actually wait until most of my friends are online to start playing Orc Massage. Why would I hide that?
I doubt you do that. I bet you don't even have the orc massage game
This will make me more likely to buy certain games, absolutely. And it's really not that I feel ashamed or whatever about them, but more like, I know some people are judgey, and I'd rather not have them in the know lmao. Also work/professional stuff.
Yeah, I can see that. Your friends should not have to know if you like tsunderes unless you want to tell them.

I've had my whole profile on private for years, lmao.
Same. I don't even like taking myself off invis the minute or so it takes for my friends to see me and join me in-game.
The surfeit of waifu and other porn and porn-like games is surprising when you start digging through what’s on sale.
Anybody ever bought one of these and care to share what the attraction is?
Huniepop is just a legitimately decent game.
Also, Deep Space Waifu was a gift and I'm keeping it

This would have been nice to know before I made my burner profile. lol
It's too late for me. They already know.
Finally, I had to just nuke all my share status features lol.
But my friends only message me when I'm in the middle of a boss fight in Nekopara.
Wouldn't mind having it hidden in my own library. Plenty of games I'd rather not know existed. (Not counting removing then from my library, I bought them, maybe someone will want to play them some day)
You can already hide games in your library from the right click menu.
