Reminder System for early development games
Just a thought my friends and I had: Make it possible to set reminders for games in Early Access that would prompt you to take a look at a game again after a preset amount of time. So say you come across a game in EA that looks promising, but after some research into it, you decide to wait until some issues are fixed before giving the game a try yourself. You could click a button or something, maybe with a drop down menu, that says "Remind Me Later" or something, and set it to like 8 weeks, or 16 weeks, whatever, so that even if you've forgotten about it, Steam would remind you that you were interested in this game, and wanted to see it after some more development. Like I said, just a thought. Figured it could be a useful feature.

Use the 'Follow' feature and it will tell you when the devs have news.

Add the game to your wishlist and wait to see if it released. You'll get an email when it does, if you did not opt out of those...

Yeah, I'm aware of that feature, but there's not much to it, and sometimes even if you follow it, not much happens (at least, in my experience) that gets your attention when you load up Steam. I was thinking something along the lines of a popup at the start like the current news of deals and releases when Steam is first opened.

Also, aware of that. I'm not talking about release though. As I'm sure you're aware, many EA games stay in EA for years. I'm talking about a game that shows promise, but based on what you read about it you decide to wait to try it, especially if there's significant money involved. Like a couple months or so, just to let it polish up more, get better reviews, then decide again if it's worth the plunge. It's easy to forget about things you have on follow, especially if you already have large libraries of games. Just thinking it'd be nice to have a feature that you could set to 'remind' you of the game in x number of weeks or something. Hell, can even incorporate it into the 'follow' function somehow. Also, I get enough email spam, and am already really bad about checking my email, so the last thing I want is more crap to get shuffled into my inbox, heh.

What exactly do you mean by "shows promise"?

You're literally describing, "put it on your wishlist or follow the game". You can opt out of emails.

The "Follow" function you keep bringing up does next to nothing, other than put it on a list that at a glance displays no info except a button to take me to the game's page. That's nice and all, but if I am not glued to checking that follow list, because I'm just playing games, or even doing stuff that doesn't involve Steam, so it's just sitting in the background minimized or what have you, it's very easy to forget to even look at the list, much less remember a game that looked interesting when there's so much out there. I can go months without looking at it, forgetting all about the games I happened to stumble across but decided not to jump at yet. Yeah, I put stuff on the follow list, but ya'll are acting like it does all the things I'm describing, yet I am here telling you it doesn't. I'm starting to think ya'll aren't really even paying attention to what I'm describing, and just breezing through for key words that catch your attention and are all like "Just use follow/wishlist." If anything what I'm describing would be an expansion on the functionality of the Follow list, since it does very little in its current state. It's definitely not something for the wishlist. To me, the wishlist is for stuff I plan to/ or would like to buy, or if someone is thinking of gifting me something, here's stuff I would like. The follow list is for stuff that may be interesting, but I want to wait before I decide if it'll be worth it, especially for EA games. What I am suggesting is an option to set (likely from within the follow list function), effectively an alarm/notification of sorts, to have Steam give you a popup after a predetermined amount of time (likely on the order of weeks) reminding you that you wanted to take a look at this game again for whatever reason. QoL. That's all.

I mean.


If you're interested in the game, that's your brain's job to remember to look at it. This is so redundant and not really something anyone else has - to my memory in many years here - 'really needed' beyond the reminders we already have.

Also of note with those many years I've been here looking at suggestions:

"I already get too damn many emails WHY CANT THEY STOP!"
"I didn't put the right email / used a throwaway account and don't get anything from steam anyway"
"This site is so slow, why does it have to load so slow!"
"Didn't want this information, why do they keep sharing this with me I don't care that I once added this to a list I don't want it any more I don't understand how to use this system to opt out."

Those are things that I *have* seen when even the simplest and most obviously-useful things have been added to the client.

They cannot win whichever way they make things. And as it is: what you want is already present, it's actually still up to YOU the USER to actually follow through on what YOU want to be looking at.

Surely you have a phone or app on your computer that could easily do this FOR you, if you really 'gotta'. "Hey, this is your weekly reminder to look up your wishlist on Steam!"

Done. And with it on your device and not theirs, they don't have to... 1) code it 2) test it 3) field the complaints....

When we see the same kinds of suggestions, or ones which have redundancy out the wazoo, we call it like we see it dude. A suggestion is great, until it can be picked apart by people. We don't have to all sing its praises. the fact that there are a dozen other ways to do what you want already means this is a non-issue.

Everyone has different preferences, man. For example, I'm not glued to my phone, so I'm not going to want yet another app filling it up to do stuff like what I suggested, when it wouldn't be all that difficult to add it to the existing program sitting in front of me. If you've got other ways that works for you, fine. I'm not you. Others are not you. They may wish to go about it differently. Just because it's not the way you would prefer to go about it doesn't make it a bad suggestion or a "non-issue". So again, take the condescension and walk off a pier with it. Thanks.

And you need to accept the fact that other people DO NOT have to agree with you about everything.

Every idea gets broken down and criticised before it ever reaches the public and over 99% of those considered never make it to production.

Your attitude is that people can have differing opinions but if they don't match your opinion they should get lost. That doesn't help anyones idea. Even if everyone backed you as it being a great idea it would still need Valve to see it, discuss it like what is happening here yet with more technical knowledge behind their systems. Then if they can remove or adapt any downsides they'll decide if it's a worthwhile idea to spend time and resources developing.

Don't forget you posted this in a public forum. It's public and anyone is free to voice their opinion. Doesn't matter whether it disagrees, agrees or is indifferent to the suggestion. It's a public forum.

EDIT: Oh and by the way I couldn't care less if it was implemented or not

I also don't give a damn if you agree with it or not. But not once, but multiple times people just glazed over it and kept repeating the same BS, not really understanding what I was after with my suggestion, and on top of that, being condescending about it at times. That's what the 'get lost' part of it was about. Sorry if you didn't read it that way, but as I said, I'm not so sure those who commented even tried to understand what I was after. They certainly never asked for clarification. But whatever. I couldn't even really care less either at this point, and will likely never suggest anything again to help improve Steam, if this is the kind of attitude I'll regularly receive here. So congrats, you probably got what you wanted. I'm done here.

There was no suggestion that contained anything that wasn't easily available already, why we don't think this would improve anything. Sorry you feel like this is a personal attack, but dude, it's something that is easily done in a hundred other ways already. LIke i said: you probably have a phone or widget on your computer to do this exact thing right now, and this would merely be redundant on steam thanks to the Wishlist feature which does by the way *tell you* via emails that a product is on sale, and the Follow feature on games you aren't having on your wishlist, for such development info as well.

FOllow and WIshlist Both work. Follow will give you news feeds relating to development and any other dev posted stuff. Wishlist will keep tabs on sales and both will show a notice when the item in question hits 1.0
