Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

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.

Really? That's big news, speaking from the people who made Everquest. Now if only they didn't kill Star Wars Galaxies the way they did, the world would be a perfect place.
