Why are not all games displayed?

I have about 800 games both free and paid, why does the app only show 400? The rest I have to search by id, which is inconvenient!

What games are you claiming that don't show up in SAM that have achievements/stats?

I explicitly chose to not show games that have no achievements or statistics. There's no point for them to be there for SAM's intended usage.

If you're using SAM to idle games for hours, for example, that is outside of SAM's scope and there are better solutions that exist.

But I don't do clock winding, there seem to be other gadgets for that. I understand the principle of your application. How hard is it to build a SAM from source to show all games? And is it possible?

No idea, you would need some way to iterate owned games which is not something that the Steamworks API offers.

I still don't see the point of doing this.
