👾 How to block a game (installed via Steam, EA App, Epic Games, etc.)?

To block a game installed via Steam, EA App, or Epic Games, the steps might vary slightly depending on the game.

1️⃣ Method 1: Simple Blocking

After creating a new rule:
Tap on "Apps & Websites."
Click on "+ Add."

If the game is available through EA App or Epic Games, you can directly search for the game’s name in the apps, select it, and block it.

2️⃣ Method 2: Blocking Steam Games

The game is located here: Macintosh HD/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/{Game Folder}, but finding it can be a bit tricky! Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through it.

First step: If the Library folder isn’t visible when you go to Macintosh HD/Users/{username}, you’ll need to make it appear. To do this, click on "...", then in the pop-up window, check "Show Library Folder."



Then, to find the game, you’ll click on Library > Application Support > Steam > steamapps > common. There, you’ll see all the folders with your installed games. Click on the game you want to block, then select the icon.
