Valve has watched as hundreds of new games has made Steam nearly impossible to browse. It's updating the service today to fix that.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
I haven't felt this is a problem.
it was fine the way it was, easy to view categories and simple. i dont want to have what they think i will like/want shoved down my throat like one big ad ugh
Been saying the indies are taking over STEAM for a while. It's cluttered much like the ios store has become and no longer is it easy to browse and find compelling games wihtout shifting through a load of trash. This is all due to build a greenlight bundles where millions of people pay a dollar for 6 games then nearly all vote it to get greenlit to get a free STEAM key. Its great for the dev they get a game greenlit that would never have got greenlight if left in the wild and the gamer gets 6 STEAM keys for a dollar. But it means the store is full of trash games.
So my point is there are good indies and I do want to see those the big indies that most people like. What I don't want shoved down my throat all the time are crappy indie titles by a noname dev trying to make a quick buck who doesn't care about the game.
While I have yet to try the new service, I have never had trouble navigating the Steam Store. I love how Steam is constantly evolving and striving to improve. Their innovations are intuitive and welcome.
