Für alle die was mit Steamgifts anfangen können, ich gebe dort The Witcher 3 GOTY für Steam weg, wer mitmachen will kann das hier tun:



Falls ihr nicht in meiner Whitelist seid, lasst es mich kurz wissen und schickt mir einen Link zu eurem Steamgifts Profil, dann ändere ich das gerne! :) Dieses tolle Spiel muss man auf jeden Fall verbreiten und ich selbst habe leider nicht den PC um es darauf zu spielen. ;)

RIP SteamSpy
Yesterday, Steam's privacy settings were updated to make things a little clearer when deciding who can see your Steam profile and what exactly they can see. This means that you can now hide the games you've purchased or wishlisted, along with any achievements and playtime you may have associated with them.

At first glance, this appears to be Valve's initial response to the huge privacy scandal surrounding Facebook's relationship with British political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica. (We've asked Valve for comment.)

However, these changes have also led to a potentially unexpected side effect: the imminent closure of the largest Steam stats service on the Internet, Steam Spy.

This site ran as a side project by Sergey Galyonkin, the Director of Publishing Strategy at Epic Games, and relies entirely on data gathered from Steam user profiles to estimate sales figures and current trends within the PC gaming space. This has proven popular with players and developers alike.

Galyonkin announced yesterday that Steam Spy "won't be able to operate anymore", as a result of these changes. We spoke to him to find out more.

To reiterate - it's not because of the new privacy settings. It's because Steam just made everyone's gaming library hidden by default (this wasn't in their blog post).
They said it was by users feedback which makes me as a person born in the Soviet Union very suspicious :)
Entweder will Steam wirklich mehr Privacy für die User, oder Publisher haben nachgeholfen :ugly:
 
Zuletzt editiert:
Der Schritt von Valve ist sehr wahrscheinlich nicht ganz freiwillig sondern kommt auch wegen der Datenschutz Grundverordnung innerhalb der europäischen Union, welche ende Mai verpflichtend für alle(!) Firmen wird die in Europa was anbieten wollen.
Darunter sind eben auch so Punkte wie " Privacy by Default" usw, was einem Steamspy leider das Genick bricht.

Möglich, spicht aber was dagegen:
Do you get the feeling that this change has happened because of Steam Spy?

Sergey Galyonkin: I really don't know. For a moment I was thinking that it was related to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) laws going live in Europe in May, but if they wanted to be compliant with those laws they should have hidden all profile information. Right now they have sensitive information exposed by default and only the game libraries are hidden. It doesn't really make sense.

What kind of sensitive information?

Sergey Galyonkin: The user's real name, twitter handles and all this stuff. It's all exposed by default.

Dürfte doch super für dich sein. Wieder etwas weniger, wo deine Privatsphäre leidet ;)
:D

Mein Profil war aber auch schon zuvor nicht öffentlich. Genaue Details zu den alten Einstellungn weiß ich jetzt leider nicht mehr.

List of DRM-free games
This is a list of games and software available on Steam that do not require the use of the Steam client itself (after the game or software is downloaded using the client), do not contain any third-party DRM (Games for Windows - LIVE, Uplay, Denuvo, etc.), or the optional Valve CEG (Custom Executable Generation) Steam component, making them effectively launcher-free applications once downloaded. This means that you can copy the game folder anywhere you want to and launch the game directly without being online or having Steam or third-party software running.
