Hidden games not hidden
ISSUE
Hidden games still show in the right side banner on a profile page when being played

OS
Windows 11

STEPS

Purchase game normally (not as "For my account: hidden"*)
Go to Library
Right click the game
"Mark as Private" and "Hide this game"
Start the game
Ensure your status is set to "Online"

*unsure if relevant

RESULTS
As expected, when opening the "Friends & Chat" window, it shows a crossed out eye with a tooltip about the game being hidden.
However, when visiting your profile page (use a different account to verify) it shows "Currently In-Game" on the right side with the name of the hidden game below it.


EXPECTED
The game should not be shown on the profile page

Hidden only hides it from your library page for you.

Hidden and private or just hidden?

If just hidden, the bug report still stands for the private state.

If hidden and private, I don't believe this as the tooltip in the friends section says something along the lines of
> Your game activity is private and will only be shown to you
In which case the game activity being shown on my profile is the opposite of what I'd expect
