So does Steam. It’s... a little creepier when it’s taken beyond “advertise which games you’re playing so your friends can potentially join you”, though.

Steam only does this when you launch an app through steam and only when it is enabled though.

That is quite a difference from broadcasting the name of any binary it recognises.

Are you sure? I think steam only does it for programs launched through it.
