Games in "Follow" should be treated as games in wishlist

[LadySky89]

While it is clear that the "new" wishlist has been adapted to those which have huge wishlists, I do not enjoy to have one.
I put my "possible wishlist in future" in my followed list, but this list, compared to the former, is darkened and uneasy to visit, so I usually completely forget about said games.

What is the point of having a feature such as "Follow this game" if that ends there? What are we actually following if Steam does nothing beyond checking that burron?
There's no system to see these games in evidence during sales, there's no way to receive news about their state or new dlc/patches unless someone subscribes all devs steam groups of the entire portal, and there's no easy and fast section that regroups them for comfortable browsing.

Instead of adding useless filters to wishlist (we know exactly what genres our games are, and why we added them), make a second tab of the wishlist for games in follow so we can browse them and check them up, instead of forgetting about them.

Any activity on followed games show up in your activity feed.

Activity feed is another of those sections I don't use, because it is simply a mess.
Just anything is put in there, and I want something focusing games in follow, exactly as wishlist does.
I don't want to filter dozens of posts stacking up every minute to check all games I'm following, because they're actually many, and also friends activity and groups activity ends up there.

While I agree with the sentiment of your post in general, and think that, yes, filters are for people with larger wishlists, it's in no way geared towards people with huge wishlists.

Filters, probably.
Only being able to move an item in ranked sort by "Move to top" and drag-and-drop (with a whopping 5 items per screen on 1080p that means scrolling through 20 window heights to just move it by 100 positions): That's made for lists with less than 50 items. Case in point: drag-and-drop doesn't even work (it crashes the pageview) if you have around 1000 items or more on your list.

Following also displays any news on the game in your Activities tab, by the way. Not necessarily sales, though, only if the devs make a newspost about it. I follow games still in development (EA games, mostly). Games that get updated regularly stay in my view. Games that don't get updates drop from memory.

I was able to find my Followed list under Profile => Games => Followed

Looks the same. Activity feed still works.

But yeah, I use it for Early Access titles to see if/when they're released.

I already expressed my opinion about the Activity Feed, and why I don't like it.

Same applies to Profile -> Games -> Followed, which sounds more a section to be viewed by other players, not by me, because I never access my profile unless I need to modify it.

There's just barely any visibility to followed games. When you follow something, you are somewhat prioritizing news and infos about it, like you do in Facebook for example. Here following a game is barely of any use at the current state of it.
It was really easy and comfy to simply add a tab for followed games that showed price, status (early access or not), reminding genre and developer, date of last published news; nothing special, but it would make faster and more userfriendly, keeping oneselves informed about followed games, without bloating wishlist with games that may potentially never become actually wished.

As for wishlist, it is currently broken, it doesn't matter 50 or 1000 titles, I can't drag and drop games on it, and I can't make Filter work properly because it overlaps with games below.
Filtering might be comfy for users that have many games, but it doesn't make wishlist itself any more efficient than it is... I like to order my games according to how much I wish to possess them, and I dislike to bloat my wishlist. My friends always check that list up when they want to gift me something, and I do the same, filtering is not very useful to them because all I want them to know is the priority in which I want to get those games. The only things I could probably make use of are search bar (to check for something specific) and genre filtering (BUT only if it still puts my games in order of position once filtered, otherwise it's useless).

I agree and posted somthing similar about a week ago about the follow list. I used the list primarily for early access titles and games i will wait for updates and games that onyl have a steam page. I asked for the filters and such that are now on the wishlist. Hopefully it will not remian buried on the profile page and will be updated with the same filter tools now on the wishlist.
