There are two types of games that do not count towards your Steam's total achievements count and game completion percentages.
-
Steam is learning about this game.
-
Profile features limited.
Both of these have the same tooltip on the store page: "This game is not currently eligible to appear in certain showcases on your Steam Profile, and does not contribute to global Achievement or game collector counts." But I am sure that they are treated differently somewhere.
Examples:
Paperbark - Steam is learning about this game
https://store.steampowered.com/app/916900/Paperbark AchievementsSpace Pilgrim Academy: Year 3 - Profile features limited
https://store.steampowered.com/app/936650/Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 3 AchievementsAshley Clark: Secret of the Ruby - Profile features limited (this one I actually completed way before it was added on TSA and it doesn't appear in my library on TSA nor my progress is available)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/882640/Ashley Clark: Secret of the Ruby AchievementsThese kind of games do not appear in my library on TSA even though I do own them. This could be because Steam is not reporting on them exactly as it says in the tooltip. However, I think, as soon as I play them and earn a few achievements they will appear in my library on TSA (as long as the game was scanned by TSA previously). This could create some confusion as the scores and total achievement count might differ from Steam to TSA.
I wonder what is TSA's take on this? Or how do you handle this types of games?
In the case of the third game I actually finished it before it was on TSA and so my progress was not carried over, probably due to the fact that achievement's unlock time was way before the scanner was run (I guess a full rescan would fix this).
Is there a way to add games to the library on TSA that are not yet visible from Steam API?
What about games that do not have achievements?
