So much garbage on the steam store

[TheClap (Gonnorhea)]

Are they just letting ANYONE make a game and put it on the store these days? Even most triple A or big ass companies are putting out mcdonalds teir games. Its like we've lost track of what makes a game enjoyable. Anyone feel me here?

just use filters like "indie" and "anime" that clears up most of the trash games

Don't forget visual novel.

Best games, you mean. It clears up most of the best games. Hating on Indie is weird. They are the best games around for a good price. Many good devs out there.

Yeah, there are more bad AAA games than Indie IMSHO.

I absolutely love indie games and I don't agree. I've never needed Youtube to find games either.

Might be because I'm old and been gaming for so long, so I might be doing something differently. But seriously, how do people browse the stores to find all that stuff?

Or do people just watch yourube videos and then project that on here?

How much time do you have on your hands to sift through a 100k game catalogue?
Sorry if that sounds judgemental, I don't actually mean to be rude, but personally just sifting through 1000 of them is impossible considering the store literally breaks after you scroll down a few pages.

Why would you "sift" through 1000 of games, why would I need to see *every* game in the catalog? Seriously, how do you browse the store?

I see nobody expects a curated store anymore. Ok, enjoy the landfill.

People wanting stuff they don't like removed is not the same as wanting curation. None of them want the latter, cause they don't want the games they like to not be for sale.

If you know what you're looking for, you don't have to sift through more than a few hundred games. Just use the provided browse by tag system. It's a lot more helpful than some people think. Also, I dismiss most games at one glance. And even so, got a pretty full library and wishlist. If you know what you're looking for, you'll find it. But you have to know what you want from a game to find a game you might like.

I just kinda glance at the store's main page and there's usually something that jumps out and grabs my curiosity if not interest..

If nothing catches my interest.. I just check back in a a week.

I agree that there's a lot of low quality games games in the store, but equally there are lot of mediocre, good and great games too. I find the discovery queue to be a really useful feature.

Over 20.000 games were released last year. Which is an increase of the year before when it was 13.000 odd games.

How many are worth looking at? Dunno. I am not gonna scan 20k games for a gem. Takes too long. Do you have time to filter out nearly 60 games a day?

You don't have to "scan" 20.000 games. What do you want to play right now?
Metroidvania, Strategy game (turn-based or RTS), Shooter, RPG, Platformer, Sandbox game... there are tags for you to actually use to search and narrow down games which would scratch your itch.
