A feature to filter Chinese only games?
I know the Chinese market is huge and I am glad for their developers.
But I would love to have a Steam feature which allows me to filter out games which have language option for you which you can't understand. In look at the increasing numbers of Chinese games which too often have no English or other language option and vice versa.

I thought in the past Steam had/has an option which allows to use a language filter which just helps with this problem so nobody got to waste time to dig through many suggested games you can't play anyway because of language hurdles.

A cheaper workaround for Steam would be maybe to use a global tag for 'Chinese language only'. We have after all an Anime tag.

Go to search and then go down you will find "narrow by search" and click on desired language.

Tags are user generated but that isn't worth tagging.

We've been asking for a way to do this for a couple years now.

Doesn't help when it is the Discovery Queue that suggests them.

I know this is a VERY old problem of Steam it never really tackled.
It's just that it got worse in the last one-two years with Chinese only games clogging up the Discovery cue which wants me to use less and less that feature when so many games, even they might look interesting I can't play.
I guess we just have to keep waiting for a miracle from Steam or just bury that hope at some point. *crosses fingers with a crunching sound* :qrsigma:

Ah i see. I haven't used discovery queue in a good while. I do hope Valve refines them. In Valve time no doubt.

This begs the question what it is users with this problem typically look at in the store as my discovery queue doesn't have the same problem.
