Option to display more than 3 games in Recent Activity
In comparison to the large number of showcases that can make your profile significantly larger, I find that the ability to display only 3 games in the profile is not enough today

No matter what the number is, it will never be enough, and people will always want more. 3 is a good number.

Just use a show case to show all the games you are playing right now. Use the Games Collector badge to do that.

I have never seen a "Gameplay Stats" with a Steam Rating section on Steam and I have been part of Steam since the start.

My profile page has ever only shown 3 games for as long as I can remember. If you steam is still showing that info, where do you find it so that I can replicate it as it looks like something from a different website and not Steam.

Just showing me a cut down image that could be from anywhere doesn't mean a whole lot.

Again, on the profile page, which is what you seem to be complaining about, as far as I remember its only ever been 3 games it showed and there doesn't need to be more than that. As I already said, give people more and people will still want more. They have to put a limit somewhere and thats the limit they picked.

My Recently Played section currently has 14 games. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/benlubar/games/?tab=recent

Yours is hidden, but I'd imagine it's got more than 3 games in there if you're asking this.

I didn't mention anything about the 'Recently Played' section. Can you read more carefully?

Wow that goes a long ways back. I forgot all about that one UI.

Yes you are right, it did show more games at one point... but it also showed far less detail. The ones today are much bigger and show more detail per game.

I still say that 3 is more then enough, no need for more. If people want to see more they can go to your games page and click on recently played.

If Valve were to ever put in the option to see more, then you should also see far less detail about each one to try to keep the sections as close to the same size as they can. I can use them being reduced in size to what they used to be with the less detail.

Valve has had higher numbers for stuff and then reduced it. In the last few years you could upload 8meg images, now its 5 meg... people have been screaming for 50, 100 or even unlimited size...

They reduced the number of games seen from 6 or so down to 3 but gave more info and made them bigger. Thats a good tradeoff. Don't expect them to change it any time soon.

They implemented an option to add more than 4 games in the "Featured Games" showcase in 2021. As a result, this section expanded in size. What are you talking about?
People are able to add a tons of showcases with anime pics that can be scrolled infinitely. Do you think that the option to display at least 6 games in "Recent Activity" is less important?

The thing you're asking exists. I have shown you how to locate it, and now you're accusing me of not being able to read. Do you want the ability to see more than three recently played games with recent achievements, time played in the past two weeks, and total time played, or is there something other than that that you are asking for?

I think there should be an absolute limit on the size for each one to stop stuff like that. And I don't think its more or less important than the other ones, its not important at all. If it was reduced to 2 or 1 tomorrow... I wouldn't notice. If it was expanded to 4, 5 or 6 tomorrow... I also wouldn't notice.

I've been telling you WHY its more then likely what you want will not happen. You think its an important feature... I don't think it is. If Valve thought it was, they would have increased it and not decreased it when they did.

i can see 18 of my most recently played maybe because you have only played 3 games recently?

I can see 23 of my most recently played. Did I mention anything about the "Recently Played" section?
So many comments and most of them didn’t even read (or understand…) the suggestion.
I too would like more than 3 recent games to show on my profile.
