Is it really impossible to not have Steam track your time playing multi-player games?
This seems like an obvious privacy issue to me, no? Is it at least possible to not share them? Also, is there a way to not have them displayed as you log in and look at your own profile?
Is there no way to let people use the other Steam friend features, but not have your playing hours be shown to them?
Best Answer
There is no way to hide hours played, nor is there a way to reset it.
You can however, prevent it from building up. Playing games in offline mode will not count towards your hours. You will not be able to play Steamworks games multiplayer, though (And sometimes not at all).

Launch Steam and click on Friends at the top of the window if you're on PC, or in the menu bar at the top of the screen if you're using a Mac. 2. Select Invisible in the drop-down menu. Your profile should now appear offline to both your Steam friends and strangers alike.Steam: How to hide recent game activity \u0026 game hours
