Steam stats website Steam Spy shuts down due to Steam’s stricter privacy policy

Steam Spy, a website that keeps track of the sales figures of games sold on Steam, among other things, says it can no longer function after Valve’s gaming platform has tightened its privacy settings.

On Twitter reports Steam Spy that Valve has made a change to privacy settings, which means that games purchased by Steam users are now no longer displayed by default. Steam Spy says it relied on the public disclosure of this information and that Steam’s policy change means it can no longer operate.

Steam has expanded the privacy settings of the users’ profile page so that there are more opportunities to influence privacy, according to the platform. For example, a more detailed description is available for each category that explains what profile information is, so that users can better control their data and who can access it.

In addition, Valve is working on the ability for users to set their status to “invisible” so that they appear offline, while still allowing users to send messages and view their friends list. In addition, users can now select who can view their list of purchased games. The same goes for achievements and game time. The total time users have spent in games can be hidden. All of these changes are a result of user feedback, according to Valve.
