Crash and Coco will need their assistance throughout the game to tackle the crazy challenges that are going to be thrown at gameplayers. Whether it’s Ika-Ika, who gives gamers the ability to instantly flip your center of gravity at the press of a button, Kupuna-Wa, who allows players to slow down time, or Lani-Loli, who allows one to phase-shift elements in and out of existence. Your Steam Client Should Stop Crashing Soon Valve fixed a bug that resulted in the Steam client crashing if you own tens of thousands of games. By Matthew Humphries April 21, 2021, 8:37 p.m.
With Steam sales occurring so regularly, it's not surprising to find people with hundreds of games on their account, possibly even a thousand, but what if you own 25,000 or more games on Valve's digital store? Apparently it crashes the Steam client.
As PCGamer reports, Steam hosts over 51,000 games and there are a few people out there who own over half of them. And while Steam can host that many games, the Steam software can't. This was made clear in the latest Steam client beta release, as highlighted by Reddit user n1ght_watchman. On the release notes the following appeared: 'Fix a possible crash for users with around 25,000 or more games.'

The good news is, Valve has managed to identify and fix whatever caused that many games to crash the client. We just need to wait for the fix to filter down to the non-beta version, or embrace beta and switch to using it instead. Saying that, though, the number of Steam users this effects must be tiny as who can really afford, let alone find the time to play 25,000 games?
Steam added 10,263 games last year and the number of new titles has been increasing steadily every year with the exception of 2019. It won't be long until there's over 100,000 games to purchase if that trend continues, and probably a few more client crashes for Valve to deal with along the way.
