In a big library it is hard to select what to play.
As in store page, game detail page should include a big cover instead tiny icon and some screenshots and videos.
I have games I don't event know what kind of game is that without looking Screenshots.

Please support me on this idea. We can make this happen.

Use a <grid view> its big enough

Grid view is has it own use case and nothing to do with my suggestion.
What I am suggesting is ScreenShots and even videos in game details view.

Games Detail view uses random screeenshots for your background image already.

May I ask the reason of this resistance for the change ?

StorePage looks best ,it has screenshots ,videos and game summary. And genres also mentioned. I think this should be also included in game detail view. Because these are the details of the game!

Even Retail game boxes has some summary about game, screen shots of gameplay. But details view has boring news stuff filled with text most of the screen.

I am waiting for only dev responses .

Devs don't respond here.

Not "resisting" anything.

The library views are up for an update just like te rest of Steam as stated last year.

I'd like to vigorously second this suggestion! As one member said, it's like Steam removes all the labels off of your cans after you buy them, making browsing the 'pantry' for a quick 'snack' *way* more of an annoyance than it should be!

Detail view features screenshots as backgronds
Detail view has a direct link to the store page
You can set categories for your games as you like

cinedine, This is a feature request from customer
The owner of this thread is demanding some "feature". Not looking for advice.
The reply "You can set categories for your games as you like" clearly has nothing with this request.

Here comes a poetic advice :
Steam has a fullscreen mode,
you can enter and leave full screen mode in steam.
Steam has a wallet, I have too.

Cheers,

Firstly, he's not the owner of the thread.

Secondly, the OP is not demanding anything.

Thirdly, Cinedine has every right to post his post. It actually does have to do with the thread, as categories can help the OP to distinguish what kind of games they are (for example genre, type or whatever you want to name the category)
