Steam is seemingly making it harder for fans to keep an eye on the behind-the-scenes updates of some games, as it's now rolling out a way for developers to keep app info private, preventing third-party database SteamDB from tracking them properly.
SteamDB is an incredibly useful source of information for PC players – not only does it keep an up-to-date record of concurrent player counts for Steam releases, but it also allows users to peek at the update history of games. This isn't just for big patches that developers would widely advertise anyway, but quieter changes like alterations to store pages that can indicate when developers are working on things. However, it sounds like from now on, users won't be able to access quite as much information as they could before.
