"I'm feeling lucky" or "Pick random game" feature

[Shlurpe]

I feel like steam should add a feature that just randomly selects a game from your library for you to play. I personally have a hard time choosing what to play when I'm bored, and I bet many people feel the same way.
I don't think it should automatically start the game, I think it should just show you the page for it, and let you decide if you want to play it.
You could also filter it to only select from installed games, unplayed games, favorites, etc.
Does this sound like a good idea?
If this became a feature, do you think you would ever use this?

I know that SteamDB has a feature like that; if you log into your account and access your profile page from there.

I've suggested this same thing at least once before too :) Xbox One has it!

No... doesn't sound like a good idea... but also not like a bad one... sounds just like something that's not really needed.
And no... I would not use it.
If I'm so bored that I can't even decide what game to play, I try to do something usefull instead.

Bored and overwhelmed/indecisive are neither synonymous nor mutually exclusive. ;P

It one wishes to just mindlessly consume without thought, then it doesn't matter what one consumes. Basically how this will play out is people just spamming the thing repeatedly and then complaining that the feature sucks at landing on a game they want.

True story.

We already see this with the discovery Queue.

yea, the games in "play next" shelf should've been randomized rather than showing the same games over and over again
