With Steam now having more than 6000 games, and the majority using at least one of the Steam authentication aspects (eg around 3000+ games using the Trading Card feature), this list is now basically mirroring the Steam game catalog, making it a failure of WP:NOT#CATALOG. It also can be a magnet for non-notable games on the service. Perhaps the only special aspect we might track is if there was a retail disc, but even then this seems unnecessary and there are other ways to do this (categories). As such, this list is inappropriate and unwieldy for en.wiki. MASEM (t) 17:15, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - per nomination. I also feel there'd be a WP:V issue - as I don't think this is something frequently covered in third party reliable sources. (And if all verification is coming from first party accounts, then we're right back at WP:NOTCATALOGUE - why even document this? Just check Steam itself.) Sergecross73 msg me 20:18, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTCATALOGUE. Smartyllama (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTCATALOG. Agree with nomination. Acts as a mirror to Steam's catalogue and is unmaintainable due to the size of Steam's catelogue and rate of growth. --The1337gamer (talk) 11:38, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
