8 years ago Hey- steam-idle.exe simulates steam games [citation needed] , and it is started by idle master, try killing idle master instead.
Also you know, idle master runs up to 20 games at a time if their playtime is under 2 hours, hence it starts all those processes. [citation needed]
Alsoo, the drop rate falls down drastically if you have bunch of games open all at once. [citation needed]
I have ran idle-master and noticed it was creating a bunch of loose processes, so naturally I closed idle-master but noticed that the processes where still active. I tried killing them using the methods above but they just would not die. This is the first time idle has ever done this, any ideas?
But here comes a really interesting part, I found that while multiple instances of idle-master where running I actually got card drops for multiple games as if I was playing a bunch of games all at once.
