Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

I'm at a point where I'd like to play certain games, but I dislike that they're exclusively available on consoles and Steam for Desktop. Steam's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service raise concerns about my personal security and privacy. I'm looking for advice on how to improve my privacy while using Steam....

Crow ,

I mean what exactly are you looking to get out of using steam specifically? You can use lutris to play your games, and you can acquire games through means other than steam that would be P2P and have a bit more anonymity that way. Other than that, like the other person mentioned use vpn to create an anonymous account but other than anonymity i’m not sure what you can do for privacy on steam.

Not just the stock market but i’m pretty sure it’s a legal precedent that companies must prioritize shareholders over anyone else.

Crow ,

Well they are charging a premium for the service everywhere and more so in certain countries which can afford it but a big part is that in some countries people may only earn a few USD a day so they would not be able to afford it otherwise. I can’t speak on whether or not they are taking a loss in those countries, but i can’t imagine that they have a problem due to existing infrastructure from google all across the world.
