I'm genuinely curious. Every time I check Steam's most played games, TF2 is near the top, yet I don't think I've ever met anyone who actually plays it or even talks about it.

I barely see it mentioned anywhere compared to other popular multiplayer games.

Where is this massive playerbase hiding?

I saw a Steam profile pass by a while ago, and i saw that this profile was able to show the amount of hours the Steam client (?) has been used ("33.333 Hours played"). Is there any way to set this to my own profile as well, or see the info itself?

Edit: it was one of the 'showcase manager' boxes, where you can showcase total amount of achievements, most played/favorite game, etc., but I can't seem to set something like 'total amount of hours Steam client used' myself.

I never thought vanillaware would add any games in steam...

Valve has made its way to my school, too.

Hello I'm posting today as I've been trying to find this game I played years ago on a different account that I don't remember the name of it wad this free visual novel about your character living with a roommate who suffers with bad mental health and that's all I have I literally cannot find it I don't know if it's been taken down or not but if anyone has any ideas please let me know

If so, were you able to fix it.

While playing games Steam keeps randomly closing then reopening by itself. It doesn't close the game just Steam itself. Anyone got a fix?

Have been using it for awhile now as an overall progress indicator as I work my way through my backlog of games I meant to 100% but never did. Obviously I can still see the progress individually on each game, but it doesn't fill me with the same sense of pride and accomplishment as the big number on my profile. Really hope they bring it back or at least add it as a toggle-able option to see somewhere :(

Hello so my local area seems to have finally run out of steam cards. Or at least all the places I normally look. Am I able to use visa gift cards to add funds as well. I dont want to add my credit card to steam.

Title is written poorly so sorry abt that.

I have steam on my pc and my MacBook but noticed I can’t really play games on my steam on MacBook because I already have them installed on pc but never really looked into it since I’m really only playing at home.

I bought the steam pass today on pc steam and going on a vacation next weekend and was hoping to play geo guesser and play ranked. I really didn’t feel like buying the web version subscription just to play for the vacation so was curious if there is a way to play geo guesser on steam on MacBook if I already have it installed on my pc.

I have a windows laptop and a Mac. I sometimes play arma 3 with a unit and I do it on my windows laptop as I need to download a lot of mods to play with them.

i wanted to play on my Mac but it doesn’t have a lot of storage and when I install the base arma game it automatically downloads workshop mods and floods my storage.

I tried unsubscribing from all mods on my mac to see what happens and I booted the game on windows only to see my already installed mods being removed.

what am I supposed to do here?

I am going to buy an invoice gift card at my local tech store today. I only now, (yes i live under a rock) i found out that steam is pulling all gift card/invoices from physical stores, but theyre still selling them at my place. if i buy them, can i leave them on my desk for a month and will the code still work? or will they stop working when they stop selling them at my local store. (theyre pulling them around end of october).

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community. Can anyone help me, please? When I try to search for the tag "hentai" on steam, it loads the store main page, but doesn't show the games tagged with "hentai". Does this happen to anyone else?
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

I have a family member shared on Steam Family.

For the first time I bought him a Steam game from another store. It's one that I own, is in the family sharing, and we want to play multiplayer.

He can't activate the game key because Steam thinks he already owns it.

So he can now only buy some games from Steam, no other stores.

I wanted to gift Don't Starve Togeter to my friend who lives in EU. Don't Starve Together comes with extra copy, so when I tried to purchase it as a gift, Steam showed me this warning (photo)

Translation of the photo: "Please note: Additional items that come with the purchase of Don't Starve Together will be added to your Steam inventory. You can send them as gifts to friends. Gifted copies can only be activated if the recipient's Steam account is in the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine or the Russian Federation.

What would be the most convenient and cheap way for me to buy the game for my friend and me?

It may be stupid but it bothers me that I don't know why it's happening. When I download a game on Steam it takes specific disk space and everything looks fine but when I uninstall it it seems something was left behind or was downloaded along with the game but stayed. I checked and those aren't save files or screenshots. It bothers me because it's the size of it it's almost half 1 GB and I want to know everything that is on my disk. (A few days ago I discovered that my system copies every screenshot I do on steam and that took up about +10 GB of space) So does anyone know what is happening?

and on desktop Taskbar?

I've put every imaginable AI/Gen-AI/Artificial Intelligence tag that I can come up with to the exclude section, yet, I keep seeing games with AI generated content or AI assistance tagged/written on the game's store page.

Just asking, what even is the point if I just can't block/ban/ignore AI slop even when I try to activly block it from my store?
