Let us have the old library design back

At least as an option. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

It has all the functions of the old library and more.
It has so many great features the old library missed, especially regarding tagging and making custom collections.
Sorting by playtime, achievements or genre/developer.
Custom icons, animated custom icons, 1 click to reach the forum, guides , community of every game and so on and so on.

most of those features arent useful to me. i dont care about them, wont ever use them, and consider them bloat. the entire shelves i have already removed.
i cant slide the adjuster over for my games library on left to cover the whole screen or even more of the screen so what i do care about ... my library and being able to see a complete list of games in one look is now scrunched up into a small area and all the crap i DONT care about took up the other 90% of the screen.

somehow steam thought "MY LIBRARY" page was a great place to try to sell me more crap. sorry. no. the store is a great place to sell me more crap. when i go to my library i want to see the crap i already own. thats it. period.

i want to see a concise list of all my games that takes up the entire screen in a vertical column with NO custom icons, animated custom icons, 1 click to reach whatever, etc ... except one click to open my game.

the rest of all that crap that appeals to you can all go elsewhere because its NOT a library of MY GAMES. i have no problems if you put it under ur gamer tag/screen name or in community.

this is a massive fail of steam. but they wont go back. because they are convinced that we will just accept it, get used to it, and then slowly stop complaining. even a giant thread they assembled like this is basically to bundle it all into one spot and limit the impact of the anger.

I was planning to buy quite a lot of games, I missed in recent times, during the autumn/winter sale. Now it's not happening as I will not be able to easily launch them with no library.

SOE aka Daybreak is a prime example of a company that forced unwanted changes and they lost over 90% of their business

I had to EQ2 accounts, Subbed, not free either. They pushed a few things including more mercs. I got a rare healer version on my tank. Awesome. Except it couldn't take a hit and had a 100% agro mod. Nopt matter what it would rip agro from my tank all the time. So bad I'd get through all emergencies skills with a few seconds and it'd snap the agro back......working as it should. Supposed to be a healer not a tank....

I also had an issue with it not cycling through mobs correctly. I even made a video showing it cycling through 3-5 mobs and only the same 3-5 mobs even when there were a 6+ clearly there. After dozens of emails I actually wiped my system, installed just eq2, rearranged the UI a bit and repeated the video. And got told I needed to remove the UI mod I was using. That ignored the information I provided and clearly told me they had no clue of what the default UI could do. As they couldn't address the problem, called me a liar multiple times, don't understand there product or grasp the concepts behind basic classes and then started pushing adventure packs periodically for more money I gave everything I could away and left.

Valves keeps trying to change the Steam platform into some sort of flashy platform to compete with all the rest I'll only interact with it using GOG 2.0 (when its released) I already don't use the chat functionality with Steam anymore.

Well, this new one is a little more complete and lets you get more inmerse within the games, but the older one was far more simple in the good way, I still prefer it

Just stopping by to add my +1 to hopefully get an option to use the "classic library." If it ain't broke don't break it.

Personal Computer's are not just big phones despite what google and windows try to tell you, so BIGGER ICONS doesn't automatically mean "BETTER."

The worst part of this horror show is the fear of what functional and bland and easy-at-one-glance-no-moving-BS-icons element the are going to face-rape next. Because it WILL happen. Likely they will now make the discussions section so bloated and filled to the brim with garbage (like they did with the friends list, "Big Picture mode"...

Can you PLEASE just keep things uncomplicated, unmoving, bland? This is a springboard for us to jump INTO exciting moments. It is by defintion REQUIRED to not take away from that gaming experience. Not even a few seconds every day. Ergonomics rests at the apex of a management tool like this.

Or to put it differently: Did you become the Overlord of all Gaming Distribution on the back of a FLASHY or a FUNCTIONAL design? Think about it, and think about it hard.

One look at EA's store made me throw up in my mouth and the only thing that made the bad taste go away was me thinking of functional, boring Steam that just got it right. Do NOT make our perception of you change, or you will lose market share to the competition.
