How to disable comments on Steam profile?

Sometimes you want to game in peace or enjoy using Steam without receiving annoying, rude, or useless comments on your profile.

Likewise, if you want to disable the other in-game social features, such as chat and notifications, while you play, this article will show you how to do that as well.

How to disable comments on Steam?

Open Steam and go to View Profile in the top right-hand corner of the Steam home menu.

Go to Edit Profile.
Edit My Privacy Settings.
Scroll down the page to My Profile. You will be able to see who can currently view your comments and other profile details. This example is currently set to Public but can also be Friends Only or Private.
Now, scroll down to the Can Post Comments On My Profile section.

After signing into your Steam account, go to Preferences.
From here, go to the In-Game section from the menu on the left.
