I basically just have a handful of genres, with a bunch of subdivisions for certain series or developers. Everything else gets put in the singleplayer/multiplayer umbrella

I just leave it to only show games that are currently Installed. I have a bad habit of leaving game installed even if I haven't played them in months/years "just in case I decide I want to", which wastes lots of space in the long term. I know if my currently installed games list gets a scrollbar it's time to go back and uninstall some shit

Two parts - Finished (but still playing, for achievements or DLCs or mods or else) and just Games (already installed, ongoing and waiting in line for playthrough).
Most finished and unwanted titles (like bundle fodder) is Hidden.
what's in "don't play until 2019"
I imagine The Stanley Parable is in there.
Via publisher, developer or via series.

If I can at least slap two games into one category it is bit more room made.
I used to have everything neatly sorted into categories. Most games I sorted by genre like FPS, RPG etc. Some games I sorted by series, like Half-Life games.
But then I installed Steam onto a fresh Linux laptop, and the first time I logged in the categories didn't sync. I didn't think it was a huge problem until I got back to my main PC and all the categories disappeared on it as well. I've got over 500 games on Steam, I'm not sorting them again, especially if simply logging in somewhere else can easily wipe out all the categories.

I keep a few games I regularily play on the Favorites list so I can find them faster, everything else is uncategorized in the Games list. I hide games I know I'll likely never play/replay. The censored lists are BF's games (they show up in my library because they're installed on the same PC, so to prevent them from showing up in the main games list I made a new category for them)
"Games" is where I just couldn't be arsed, so basically all the games I've bought since I organised my library when the feature first became available way back when.

I made mine into a tierlist:

And then some other categories like "Multiplayer" and "Backlog"

"Favorites" are the ones I'm playing (or more like the ones I would play if I had time for vidya...) right now. Plus ♥♥UT99♥♥.
"Games", as you can see, are actually mods.
And I don't remember why Civilization of all things got it's own category, but that's how it is.
I don't, I just keep games I play more than once a month installed, and use the search function, doesn't make sense to click through all the menus when I can quickly search something. I favorite my favorite games though.
previously
Shoot
Adventure/Explore
Puzzle
Physics
Horror
Indie
But now I just cycle the current active games out through favorites because it kept resetting it
If I have 4 or more of a specific game series, I put it into its own category.

I make an exception for anything that uses GoldSource or Source engine, which all games using those engines have their own category.
I just call it 'Valve' for simplicity's sake.

Anything that is uninstalled that doesn't fit those criteria have their own 'uninstalled' category.
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/229888/7ffa1f87-e3d8-4476-ad25-7504f4d52b45/image.png
And of course, anything that is installed and doesn't fit the rest of that criteria is just uncategorized until I either uninstall it or get more games from the same series.

I make exceptions every now and again, like for Jabroni Brawl (formerly Jaykin Bacon 3). Despite it being a Source game, I don't have it categorized because at the moment I'm frequenting it far too much to bother scrolling up my library each time I want to play it.
Oh yeah, and if it's a VR game, I throw it into a category called "there's already a vr tab" that I always keep minimized, because at the very bottom of my library there is already a VR tab, and I don't want those games cluttering my library in multiple places.
Why would I sort my games all granular when there's a perfectly functional search feature?
This is why I don't even bother tbh
The catagories aren't saved online so come clean-up time I lose them all anyways
I have two categories: Favorites and...whatever the default is.
Favorites contains games purchased through Steam, simply enough if I download it through the client it goes here. The default category contains shortcuts to non-steam games, mostly used back when I used Steam IM a lot and needed Steam to tell people I was playing a game when I launched a non-steam game. Mostly depreciated now.
I don't. After moving computers like 3 times and having my categories reset each time I can't be bothered to keep sorting my games out. Maybe once Valve makes it possible to sync categories reliably I'll do it.
They are, I get them back whenever I log on a different PC
Just curious, what skin is that?
But to answer the question I have "completed" and "not completed" categories.

I still need to update it a little bit for steam chat.
It does work, but there are some things, on both my side and valve's that aren't done in great ways

If a series has more than 2 games in it, I make a category for it. Plus I have a couple extra categories for multiplayer games I regularly play with friends and games whose singleplayer campaigns I'm working through.
