It’s bad enough they make ‘features’ I don’t want enabled by default, but it’s even worse when the lazy/incompetent developers can’t even give me the option to change it.

    Apparently there’s an API for non-group chats and an open-source terminal client (maybe others as well). Good odds that that doesn’t send notification. If not, could be modified.

    looks a bit further

    Bitlbee, an IRC-to-other-chat-protocols gateway, apparently has support for Steam client chat.

    I know that that won’t send any indication, since IRC doesn’t.

    It makes other chat systems be aggregated together and look like an IRC server; you then use an IRC client of your choice to talk to people on other chat systems.
