And it probably will never happen. Giving the user the option to limit sales advertising would limit the number of eyes that see sales ads.
Indie games... being Valve, Telltale...Frontier Developments...etc.
Unless you mean games built by 1 person sitting in their bedroom instead of "indie".
It's fine to like certain types of games, but you are not expressing it in a good way. Also you should be more open to new things.
What if one day you discover a game that might be your new favorite game. You might never have seen it there was some kind of filter like that.
Isn't this basically what indie has come to mean? Some 2d faux-8-bit retro hipster nonsense for people running toasters?
Issue isn't understanding what indie means, it's the fact that the type of stuff I described above is what indie has become and it's saturating the market. It's wii-style shovelware, people churning out bad games at a rapid pace that inundates the market, dilutes quality, and obfuscates quality games.
A few gems doesn't justify the overwhelming deluge of crap titles that you're forced to sift through anytime you want to see what new stuff is out there.
Also your second statement about "not expressing things in a good way" is utter rubbish and nonsense, it means literally nothing, you couldn't have said less in that statement if you tried. If everyone should be open to new things why aren't you giving his original post more consideration?
Also pretty much every quality search engine for stores, games, web pages search engines (google), etc, has filtering options. The lack of filtering options is pretty blatantly forcing people to see what THEY want you to see. It's very intentional, and very transparent, and it should be up to the user to view the content the way they want to, not the way the company thinks every single person should.
And you can look up games just by a specific company (publisher, or developer) on steam, therefore filtering out /every game/ not made or released by them.
So you can search all EA games on steam and it won't show you anything other than games by EA that are available, for example.
Anyway.. i think of steam more like a department store. When you walk into Target, Gamestop, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, and grocery stores they don't only display "only the books, games, clothes, items" you want to see. In the check out line isn't "only your favourite brand of candy bar" or "only your favourite sodas and bottled water".
You see everything, all the sales on items you'll never eat or ever buy (like maybe you're a vegetarian, you still need to walk by all that meat). Maybe you hate cereal with marshmallows, you still have to pass it as you walk down the aisle.
Heck when you watch tv you have to watch oodles of advertisments for products you will never buy. Hairless products for men? Ehh... doesn't help me as a girl but i still have to see'em.
Yes, for advertising wants you to see things you typically wouldn't buy to tempt you an' stuff. But, since you only like games from specific publishers, apparently, just search only by that specific publisher? Problem solved for you.
Do you even shop online?
Go to target.com, gamestop.com, walmart.com, barnsandnoble.com, and tell me they don't have rather advanced and specific sorting/searching/filtering options.
I'll wait.
Back?
How'd it go?
Feel stupid now?
Pretty much any decent system online lets you easily search/filter because they want you to have a good shopping experience so that you'll be more inclined to shop there again and buy their stuff. If a system is painful/tedious/cumbersome it disincentivizes people to do business with you.
These are computers.
If a physical store could, based on your shopping habits, presubmitted preferences, and personal requests, tailor a physical store to show you just what you want to see all neatly laid out at no additional cost to themselves, as if we were in star trek and it was a holodeck and you'd just be presented with actual goods once you were done checking out or something, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
It really bothers me that ignorant opinions like yours are perpetuating the status quo instead of challenging them to be better.
You can look at only Ubisoft games on steam.
http://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Ubisoft&snr=1_5_9__408
In fact with the Advanced Seach Options you can search by publisher, and genre, and price, and OS.
It is possible i am "stupid" but i don't see any especially uber-sophisticated search situation going on over at the Target website.
Even at Gamestop (a website i've never gone to prior til today) i can't figure out how to easily "filter out" and not see "indie" games there. Sure i could search by console (but you can search by OS on Steam, so look at only Mac games or whatever). You can filter by price on both Steam and Gamestop. And also by genre.
Gamestop does have a few more filters (like filtering by "age" - so you can look at just games for early childhood" over on gamestop or seraching by availibility - only searching for games availble in Gamestop's physical stores, etc), but no filter that seems to pertain specifically to filtering out indie games while showing all major publishers at once??
Example, i couldn't figure out how to look at all Unbisoft AND Rockstar only games all at once. i could look at one publisher at a time (just like on steam) but couldn't easily figure out how to sort by "only every big publisher" or any two (or more) specific publishers simultaneously. But again.. i admit to not being the uber genius you are.
Perhaps you can make your own steam skin that has more store filters?
A bit?
This is not useful. There are hundreds of companies listed. Furthermore, Ubisoft is shown like 25 times in the list, making the feature unusable. It is way simpler to filter our all indie games.
Because we already have an only-indie category. Clearly steam itself has no problem defining what IS (or isn't) an indie game. In other words, Steam already has the technical means to do this implemented, they just won't.
They're not adding a non-indie filter because the inside politics of the gaming industry dictate that it's a ♥♥♥♥ move for any distribution platform to give any advantage at all, ever, to the big AAA publishers, and it's good karma or whatever to promote indie developers.
Thing is, I like indie games. But there's also times when I want to play a game full of guns and bullets and tits and explosions, when I don't want to think and I just want to shoot and shoot some more. Papers Please or Minecraft are nice, but sometimes I just want to shoot bandits in the face, yanno?
And it should be every bit as easy for me to find a AAA game as it already is for me to find an indie game. And without a non-indie filter or category, it isn't.
So we need one. But no, it'll never happen.
Steam NEEDS to change this! It is THE one thing I, and many others, do not like about it.
As ChuckDM said, it is not even a matter of hating or disliking all Indie games or developers, but a matter of simply being able to conveniently search the store without having to scroll through thousands of games that do not fit the desired search criteria.
