OP is not referring to private lobbies in a game, they are referring to marking a game private on Steam itself, a feature that hides from the world (and your friends) that you own or interact with a game.

They're basically asking if anyone who uses the feature has had the info leaked by Steam.
For when you don't want your friends to know when you're playing hentai games.
There are some SFW uses too. I use it when I play things my nieces and nephews like, so they don't flood me with party invites.
Haha.. I read it for the articles.
I just play while appearing offline, but that's a good idea if I don't want to be appearing offline and I don't want my playtime to be visible to them lol.
ok. Seems you answered that one for him.
