[@cryfoe2885]

why do u do this twice a year tho? if u do this once doesnt it activate all the games that exist in steam already? do you have to renew the activation everynow and then? or do u do it to get the new games?

[@devenram9789]

@@cryfoe2885 I do it twice just to collect the new game and free soundtrack, so i run it now, I have all the free game/ost up today date, later I might run it in December and pick up the rest. I just hope valve can give more customization as in filtering by language and adult content in our library. And a filter to create dynamic collection by steam review so i can remove the negative and mixed title easier

[@shobhanrajput]

[@superbroche]

for the people who are wondering why some dlcs won't activate, its because of 2 reasons : 1 : the DLC is unavailable to reach on Steam DB because of a policy change or other things... 2 : the DLC have been set to paid mode. for example "Just Cause™ 3 DLC: Air, Land & Sea Expansion Pass" can't be activated in my library because it's not a free DLC. I hope I helped someone ! and thx for the video

[@scottbaylo]

Quick question from someone who doesn’t understand anything about computers… Wouldn’t it be possible if you downloaded an older steam build? Also if I downloaded a certain older build during a time when a delisted demo (or full game) was available, could I use steamdb to get said demo or game? Thanks

[@superbroche]

@@scottbaylo good luck to find an working older build of steam 😂😂 but honestly, I don't really know 😅

Do you need to leave your pc for 2 weeks straight with this activated in the background or is it like if you do 3 hours today and close this and do it again tomorrow for 2 hours it’ll continue, leaving out the completed games and starting from the remaining ones

[@enigma105]

My unpopular opinion: Why would you want thousands of games in your library. Most of them are trash games and just makes organizing your library hard.

[@saltyjordy]

That isnt a unpopular opinion. Who the hell has thousands of games. Sure I have a lot (~450), but nowhere near thousands. Before you ask, yes I actually have played most of them!

[@TamalPlays]

@@saltyjordy yes most of them

[@IIISincerelyIII]

@@saltyjordy I mean, to me having a thousand games is fine, BUT. only if they were built up over time and bought with money you've spent on them because they're games you wanted. not games that you're just downloading because you're bored. but tbh, i do agree with both of you guys. i could never just have something lingering in my library just to have it there. and it takes up space.

[@wisecottagefries9114]

Flex

[@261]

i believe the main appeal from this is getting the limited time paid games for free activated, but with no way to filter that out it makes this somewhat useless unless you're one to flex your 10,000 garbage free games. thankfully for large game collections you can hide games you don't care about or even remove them from your library entirely pretty easily with shift clicking to select them.

[@vKross]

I had 63 Free DLC's I did not know about, 59 of which could be activated, thanks!

[@Jarniwan]

i think what we needed from this list is a genre selection so that ppl can avoid single player games or even prn games if they wanted to. because practically thats the best value of playing original games. you get to get a multiplayer experience as well.

my guess is you dont with steam you can only refund or hide a game from your account (to my knowledge) and since these are free you cant refund them so youll manually have to go through the list of however many games and hide the game of your choosing however this doesnt remove it from your account just tucks it out of your way like i said this is a guess so im not certain but its all i got so hope it helps
