How do I add games to "What's New."

[Scarecrow]

First, I want to say that I like the "What's New" section in my library. I want to keep it where it is. I don't want to get rid of it, move it, or hide it.

I also don't want to "show less" of anything that appears in "What's New." Everything that appears there I want to stay there. I have no interest in removing anything. I have never even selected a game shown to "show less" or "remove," in the past, because I don't want less, I want more.

But my problem is that very few of the games I play, follow, or am interested in appear in "What's New." It seems that it is only the same three or four games over and over. What I want to know is:

"How do I add more games," or "How do I encourage more games to show up."

I have a lot of games, and it would be nice is the "What's New" tab showed me more what's new information about more of them.

It is apparently not based on games I Follow, because I follow a lot more than just the few I'm seeing. It's not based on the frequency of the games I play, because my most played games don't seem to show up on "What's New" at all.

Does anyone have a solution to "How do I see more games in 'What's New'?"

You don't add more, nor do you encourage them to.

What's New is news posted by the game's developer/publisher about said game. They choose to publish the news and/or updates. I am not sure if there is an option for them to not appear in the Want's New section, but if there is, then some may have simply decided not to use it.

Best way would be to contact each developer/publisher and request they use the What's New feature.

Valve has tried repeatedly to let game devs know that...

But a lot of game devs still miss the point about marketing in this fashion.

The same three or four games that appear in "What's New" are the same three or four games that appear in News. I'm not seeing any news or "What's New" about anything other than American Truck Simulator, Grand Theft Auto V, Team Fortress 2, or Kerbal Space Program in either "What's New" or in "News." I know that there has to be more news than that about newer games that I follow.

You can go to the game's game hub and see if they have any news for the games there. If not, then the developer simply did not publish anything.

The games I'm interested in seeing in "What's New" HAVE news for the games in the game's hub, so it's not like they're too old to have any news. It's just that the news they are publishing to the game hub (and, according to the publisher to the "What's New" shelf,) they simply aren't showing up on "What's New" even though the publisher wants it to show up there.

This doesn't add everything to "What's New." It only shows the news on a separate page. I want the news in "What's New" not in the "Store."
