Title: Steam Spy no longer has access to Steam ownership data due to Valve API change

Valve just made a change to their privacy settings, making games owned by Steam users hidden by default.

Steam Spy relied on this information being visible by default and won't be able to operate anymore.

Aw :(

Does that mean the only source of player data is what steam say in the reports?

I think this is so dumb on Valve's part. They clearly don't care about their own consumers any longer (and haven't for some time), so to kill things that others are doing for them is an extra layer of dumb

I used Steam Spy all the dang time
