Customize Queue Tag Limit?
I decided to make full use of the new queue customizer in the Store section. But I've found that when I try to have more than twelve tags to exclude from my queue, the additional tags don't get saved when I click "OK". I've tried restarting Steam, but the problem persists.

Is there a limit to how many tags I can filter out, or is there a way to fix this?

Its frustrating.

This is so BS, there are so many 'bad' games on steam and they only allow 12 tags to exclude. Also, I hope they can add release time into customization as well.

even if its on the tag its still being put inside the discovery queque, eg. i put visual novel in my list but still i get offered games with visual novel tag so i dont think its usefull and i am going to give up on the que2 thing for now

Of the first 12 tags it works, but it won't save more than 12 and any additional ones don't get saved and don't get applied. For example I just added Zombies and Sports and the very first game it showed me had a Sports tag. There's far too much garbage on steam for only 12 tags of filtering. Someone please bump this thread when they fix it.

nothing to fix

include the tags you like on the righthand side. it makes no economical sense to let you exclude 90% of the store just because you are a very picky person. 12 tags are more then enough.

if Indie is on your exclude list, then you are already doing it wrong by excluding the best games on Steam and excluding 70% of all games to begin with.

If you think the system is fine, go ahead. Be you. But here's the thing about making "economical sense": Without being able to block more tags, I have to filter through a LOT of garbage, including unfinished early access games, asset flips, and software I just plain have no interest in. That takes a lot of time and is not worth it to me. When it's not worth it to me, that means I'm not spending as much money as I could if I could more easily find games I'd enjoy.

For you it might be enough, but for most it is not. How would it not make economical sense? I'm not going to buy the games I'm blocking, so why waste time showing them to me when they could be showing me games I will fork over money for?. Also 90% of the steam library IS garbage by anyone's standards albeit what is and is not garbage differs from person to person, it would still be 90% no matter who you ask. Also 60% of steam's entire library was uploaded in 2016 by asset flippers. More tags is simple to code, so they should just do it or stop offering a filtering service that's useless. It's like giving someone all the materials to build a house but they can only use 12 nails.

Another option that would be nice is a new tag introduced for games that REQUIRE a vr headset. I automatically don't want any of them, but some VR games are optionally VR and could be good games otherwise.
