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 just want it to work offline 100% of the time, no random requirement to login and then huge updates to download. I just want to play my game that I own. Is that so much to ask?

      I recently reinstalled Farcry 3 to play again paid license, and Ubisoft wants me to log in every single fucking time I load the game through steam. I uninstalled it and installed the pirated version. Fuck that noise.
