Allow ignoring publishers / Prevent spammers from clogging up the discovery queue

Currently my discovery queue is frequently clogged up by some crap-ware called "Trivia Vault", that exists in 37 different versions* (each with 5000 achievements, you get the idea). I ignore one game and the next day a slightly different version appears.

Similar things happen with low quality RPG maker and jigsaw games that recently started flooding steam, I'd therefore like to suggest the ability to ignore all games of specific developers/publishers.

You could also report the game, due to Valve have actually removed similar games before.

You're right, I haven't noticed the tiny gear symbol on their "curator page" (which seems to be the proper term for the developer/publisher site, which in this case is identical).

That pretty much does exactly what I wanted

Thanks from me too. I forgot that this option existed -- and then I had to search the page for that tiny symbol.

Hopefully the Discovery Queue actually pays attention to this Ignore, unlike all the other Preferences I have set.
