Currently, if you have a game marked as private but also have a positive review for said game, your steam friends may see on the front page that you recommend this game. I think this runs counter to how "mark as private" works, which is usually to hide the game from your friends and activity.

I'm not asking for a way to make the review itself private; if I'm leaving a review I'm expecting it to be seen on the specific page for that game. But I don't want it being randomly shown to my friends who are looking at the store front page.

All I'm asking is for steam to check whether a user has marked a game as private before it shows "[Friend] recommended this game!" on the front page of the steam store, then not display that recommendation if it is marked private. Nothing else. The reviews can remain viewable everywhere else.
