Did it say, "F*ck it, I'm sick of making recommendations, just buy anything you want. Here's a list of everything that we sell" at the end? Or did it just loop back to the beginning like an ouroboros?

"Since you wish for Homefront" and not because I have 130 hours of Borderlands 2?

So you want to me buy this twice? (There is base game + expansion and Ultimate which has both but is separate library entry).

Why does it even suggest expansions for games I don't own?
 
SUWHEET!!! Scored a Bad Rats booster pack  :D/

Must be because it's being recommended to freaky looking cats everywhere

I have several things like this (buy what you already have wishlisted based on something else you have wishlisted):

Because I played Next Car Game last night, I should clearly purchase and play Wasteland 2 and Garry' Mod. Steam logic. It does have potential to make me waste money if they get it right, though.
 
The recs are definitely going to work wonders on casual fans who don't keep up with new releases or hoard games.  Steam has always made the store very difficult to navigate so this seems like a natural progression for them to be able to control what games people see available for purchase to try to maximize profits.  

 
I'd prefer to see all new releases instead of popular new releases on the main page like it used to be. I believe only showing featured or popular ones on XBL is part of what made indie devs mad at Microsoft.

There is so much wasted space on top of the main page now. Does anyone play games on a square monitor anymore? They need to make this sh*+ widescreen friendly.

I dislike not being able to see the daily right when the screen loads. I don't want to have to scroll down past recommendations for games I'll never buy anyway.

Why the heck do I need a queue? Also, this isn't a damn museum or art gallery. What the he77 do we need curators for, and why should I care what they think (unless they're friends)?

Anyone craft badges to improve booster pack drops and did it happen more frequent the booster pack drops.

Crafting for booster drops is a bad idea. It increases you booster drop rate multiplicatively, so it's not really worthwhile if that is your sole intent.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about. Valve's patented personality profiler has clearly correctly pegged you as either a middle-aged psychopath with a closet full of body parts or a 12-year-old girl with a closet full of Barbies.

Why not both?

I had a chat recently with a few folks about this, someone who's Level 270 and with 900 eligible games, gets about three or four boosters a week. I'm Level 57 and get like one a month.

In other words if you're crafting badges to get more boosters... there's no real point to it, there's no benefit, the cost of getting to such a high level is way more expensive than the value of any boosters you might get..

Crafting badges isn't for everyone.

If you really don't care about badges, go ahead and sell or trade your cards. Most people don't need multiple showcases, just one or two are enough, and many people here - especially game collectors that add any game that's been bundled to their account - will get enough experience from that and sale event-related badges to get one showcase, or even two.

I just did the math, and 63% of my new personalized Steam storefront is MysterD's review of a Resident Evil game.
Click to expand...
Hope you enjoyed my review for that game.

I'm guessing that probably was my recently written review for RE: Revelations?

Either that or my update on the review for Resident Evil 6?

I'm sure once I start the "Toaster Game Club" and become a Curator, I'll be taking up at least 75% of your new personalized Steam Store-Front. ;)

 
You know what feature Steam SHOULD add that would be more helpful than this stuff?


Announcements that DLC you're missing for games you already own are on sale. The current thing where it dims titles you already own makes it even more likely that you'll overlook discounted add-ons.

We did. Last week. When everyone but you discussed it in this very thread.
dumbass

Ugh, Steam Store needs an option to remove certain classes of games. I want to obliterate F2P and MMOs. I keep saying "not interested" in that stupid fucking queue, and yet half of the games it shows me fall into these categories. I also find it laughable that it has shown me more than a few games that have 90%+ negative reviews. Sorry, but if a game has more than 50 reviews and a 90% negative rating, recommending it just seems like a dick move.

Like so many other things, Valve just half-assed this feature and doesn't give its end users hardly any control.

It already does that, you just have to add the items to your wishlist first. Dumbass.
