Is there a way to filter out mobile games?
Getting sick of sifting through all the mobile trash trying to blend in like they're real games.

I have visual novels hidden from my search results but I don't see a mobile tag to add to the list.
Is there any way to do this or am I stuck?

No mobile games on Steam so there is no way to block games that appear mobile like

Steam does not sell mobile games, only PC games.

Keep telling yourselves that.

Well, show us a mobile game being sold on Steam.
Keep in mind that mobile game means it runs natively on either Android or iOS.

Sadly there is no way currently to filter out the mobile game ports. You can add your own mobile tag to the games though.

You do realise that the appearance of mobile games is not unique to mobile devices? The vast majority of them look like games that have existed since the first Atari. As they are NOT sold for use on mobiles they are NOT mobile games. Doesn't matter what you DEEM as mobile like the fact is they are NOT mobile games. As they are NOT mobile games their is no way to filter out mobile games or games you view as mobile like

That's unfortunate, thanks for the heads-up!

You cannot tell people not to post here. You don't own this thread. You just created it.
This is a public forum.

Now please provide evidence of these claims of yours.
You have to do that after all.
Where are all these bad mobile games that got on Steam?
And why do Visual Novels somehow tie into this?
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Well if you lack specifics you cant blame me and others for not commenting on what you actually mean. Mobile game ports are different from mobile games. Yes there are mobile game ports but no mobile games. Either way there is not filter for want your asking.

Unless I'm banned I'll post where ever the hell I want. Public forum. you cant stop users you don't like or agree with from posting. If you want a bubble only people you'd approve of stick to social media that filters out all of those types of people

You're being arbitrarily difficult, a more reasonable user answered my question.
This issue has been resolved, have a nice day.

Mobile game ports are still not mobile games and your entire point was about mobile games.
So, your complaint doesn't make sense to begin with.

Please do not use copy/paste answers. Those are consider spamming.

Also, I am not being arbitrary.
Please look up what arbitrary means. THere is no randomness here.
