Short and sweet: Hiding a game on Steam just keeps it out of your main library view. It’s like it's there, but it's not. You gotta go looking for it in the 'Hidden' section if you wanna play.

Hiding a game on Steam is like sweeping it under the digital rug. It won't show up in your regular library view, so your friends won't see it when they're snooping around your game collection. Perfect for keeping those guilty pleasures or those 'what was I thinking?' purchases out of sight. But don't worry, it's not gone forever! You can still access it through the 'Hidden' filter when you feel the urge to dive back in.

Actually, hiding games can be pretty useful for organizing your Steam library. I've got tons of games (not bragging, just saying) and hiding the ones I'm done with or the embarrassingly bad choices helps me keep my library looking tidy and manageable.
