Hire a professional UX/UI designer

[Ireth Tassartir]

Topic! Did Valve ever heard about UX? Here's defintion :

User experience design (UX, UXD, UED or XD) is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product.

Steam doesn't have this. This new ablum and stickers which should be most interesting thing about this new summer sale, was done so poorly that it became most anoying thing. Reasons?

#1 Album and stickers should be accesable within one or two at most clcisk from any other location on steam. It's not...I don't even know where it is, before clicking on store and details and whatelse.

#2 It's designed by a guy with 1 day experience, 0 knowledge of UX honsetly (or better yet not designed at all, just however put together). Anyone in steam comunity would do better job than this, and half of them even for free. Who, from your designers, thought that putting album pages separetly with scroll bar and above album is good thing? With today's design standards. Afterwards, putinng sticker packets below album, and then having to scroll up and down whenever i click on sticker and scroll up to see what i did...I have no idea what I did....

Now when I think about it...

#3 Entire steam interface looks like 30 years old. Need more use of Eye Candy and better placement of stuff. Also need overall not better UX and UI, but start introducing one first.. Then WAAAAAAAY better than this. Only reason steam is still most popular, because of lack of competition in the market. First platform that introduces more than 2% effort will crush steam to the ground and the reason is only one.

Because you don't care about users! At all! Starting with support, trough poor desisions, finishing at caring only for personal pockets.

There is a lot proof for this claim.

One example: today I used mobile steam app to sell an item on the market, and I had to confirm action on steam mobile app so steam knows I use steam mobile app (even though funcionalty and design of the same is ridicolous).

With respect...well at the ammount you deserve.
- Long time user out.

Let's see will you ban me, punish me, or actually listen to honest user insight who would like to see steam at it's best!

It is accessible in exactly two clicks. Store Featured, then click the banner at the top. Exactly two clicks no matter where you are.
