I would’ve liked to have seen a timeline of periods as to when you played a game. Like it could be displayed in a bar like picture, that shows the time you’ve bought the game and every dot afterwards, details when you’ve played the game after that point up to the recent point of time.
To expand a little on this idea. The timeline could go by a month within a year. So, it’d be like you played a game at a point in 2024, on December. It doesn’t have to be specifically as to what time but if needed, either way works. It could show how many times too during that day on the month of and year of, you launched the game for.
Another idea that just dawned upon me of remembering is - the ability to recycle games. I envy Europe because over there, you have the ability to resell games from your own library. Can’t do that here in the US. But I would’ve preferred recycling because even though my current library is over 630 games, I know when accounting the “graveyard” of games I’ve removed from my library, I’m easily over 1,100.
It would just be nice to give back to the community of games I know that I’ll never give the time of day to and never have given the time of day to. Just so it’d be in the hands of someone who would play it. But they’re all just going to sit there, collecting virtual dust, reminders to me of bad purchasing decisions and so on.
I understand too as to why maybe we can’t have a feature, is because some people may get opportunistically devious about the idea.
I can’t tell the intent on your comment, if you were joking that it was a feature to intentionally not do so disregard the rest of this post.
it is a feature if you never plan to launch it. but once it sees there an update available it won’t let you launch until you update it
The intent of my comment was to either be confirmed or denied with an explanation. The latter happened, and that makes sense. I didn’t know about that, I just remembered seeing an option like that somewhere in the UI.
No worries I just wasn’t sure
yea it’s a really dumb setup, they got so close and then just swing and missed
If you can decide not to receive (potentially) security updates, you can double click an executable
Yeah, this method will work if the game you are playing is using Steam only as a distributor, but if they’re using steam DRM, it will launch Steam and then refuse to open because it needs to update.
