How to make Steam not count some games towards "Avg. Game Completion Rate"?
In Steam, some of the Showcases show the Avg. Game Completion Rate. This takes into account the percentage of achievements you have in average of all your games.
Is there any way to make it not count some games? Sometimes you install games (specially free ones) and find them quite boring and stop playing them. It feels a bit annoying to see a low average due to them.
Best Answer
Unfortunately - no. There is no way to remove the "ghost" of achievements affecting your AGC ratio on Steam. Using some kind of unlock/relocker tool to wipe a game's achievements will actually only harm your AGC because if you have ever had 1 achievement in a game, it will forever affect your AGC and by taking yourself to 0%, you have only lowered it. Valve will not wipe/clear achievements for you if you contact them via support. Games where the DEVELOPER chooses to remove some or all achievements will properly update their affect on your AGC, however.

Answer 2
There's no legitimate method that you can use however there are third party tools available that you can use to re-lock achievements. So you can set the earned achievements for any given game to zero but I'm unsure how long/or if this will effect the showcase in question.
