"Must Include" Tag Filter

[MaskedDragonM]

Update
Similar to the current storewide tag exclusion filter option, I think there should be a "Must include:" tag filter so that I can, for example, filter out games that are MULTIPLAYER ONLY without having to filter out games that have MULTIPLAYER at all by setting it to "Must include: SINGLE PLAYER".
Or say, if someone wants, I don't know, games that only have the ANIME tag, without ever having to be shown games that don't have it.

There should be a tag filter that allows you to hide games that DO NOT HAVE a specified tag. For example, I want to be able to filter out games that aren't tagged as "single player" since I usually avoid MULTIPLAYER ONLY games.

Even though single player CAN be mixed up with multiplayer anyway so what's the point...? Just search for single player games and problem is solved? Or is that not an option...?

[MaskedDragonM]

I'm fine with games that have both multiplayer and single player. I just don't want to see games that are only multiplayer. And the current tag filters aren't able to let me do that

[Seraphita]

If you search for single player games, you technically cannot see multiplayer only. Because single player game search. You know... Hence me asking. Is that not an option? Because if it is, trying to exclude games that are not single player comes to searching for single player tag...

I don't want it only for search. Here's an example. PUBG is on my front page right now. If I were to filter out multiplayer games, it would get rid of PUBG. But it would also get rid of everything else that has multiplayer at all, which I don't want it to do. And there's no MULTIPLAYER ONLY tag that I can find

[Seraphita]

Hence why I didn't say that you should exclude multiplayer exactly for that logic, which comes back to search for single player. I'm just not sure reverse exclusion would be a thing though "games must contain the following tag" COULD be a thing, which I believe is what you get at.

Enhanced Steam browser extension gives you the option to exclude tags in search.

note: Tags and features are two separate things.

And what bugs me is that when people review games that are both single player and multi-player they mostly never mention which they played or whether they are rating multi or single player.

[MaskedDragonM]

"Reverse exclusion", "must contain", it's the same thing. There's just no auto filters like there are for exclusion.

Yeah, but there's no settings for feature filters as of now and tags usually cover features anyway.

Ah, so you’re asking for this as a passive, storewide filter option like the others in Account Preferences? Sure, why not.

[MaskedDragonM]

Yup

I think this is a great idea.

Could be expanded to even more complex boolean combinations of tags.
