I can't think of a reason why I would want to hide a game. What am I missing?

Hentai or porn games.
No one needs to know I'm playing HunnyPop BeastLover 3
Yikes. BeastLover 2 was peak lore. Story really went downhill with 3. Id be embarrassed too.
let's just say that steam has a section of games distinctly not aimed at children.
Think visual novels but the visuals are maybe something you wouldn't want your parents to see, unless they're freak nasty.
I haven't seen anyone else mention the reason why I actually want this feature.
I want to be able to hide the non-games/utilities so that it doesn't say I'm constantly playing things like blender, fpsvr, etc.
There's a lot of AO games that seem interesting.
But can't buy.
If you know a friend would be offended/make fun/whatever because they see a game in your library.
Yes, its that persons problem, but sometimes putting up with them is a worse alternative than just being able to hide a game from them.

I just have a second username with no friends on it for my Being a DIK type games.
I don't know, and valve is lying if they say they do.
There are not naked ladies in my games
Now if they could also let me use my own api key to access my own profile without having to make it public. Or maybe just a sane Openid Connect implementation that actually does anything.
Finally I can play Milf Story
If you have some kind of niche fetish, Valve is the last company you should expect to keep it private.
Too late now 🤷🏻♂️
I know, I shouldn't play payday 2... Friends forgive me!
Just make another account.. lol
Too much of a hassle
It used to be, but the switch accounts feature has been simplified recently.
took them long enough lmao
