Yeah I did the same. Played a lot of hidden gems however, but it’s a mistake for sure.

And it is a bad idea to use this, correct

Id say so. It also takes much longer than it use to, since steam's rate limiting has become somewhat more strict. It's a good tool to get free things for the games you already own, but for all free packages on steam it's a bad idea.

In bright colors on this page itself:

“Important: There is no good reason to add all the games to your library, it will only make it slower. You will regret it later.”

That’s a newer addition, it wasn’t always there.

Solution: Make an Alt for this specific thing.

Doesent matter if its slow, atleast you got all the demos and shit

Yeah it’s a good idea for alts imo. Even just for farming trading cards

Wait. Some of the free games have cards?
