Improving the Customization of Discovery Queue

[bat0]

Exclude Video Content

If you could choose software to be excluded....why not video, too?
No, thank you, I don't want to rent your video. Netflix is better.
I just want to discover games.
(Yes, I could use the exclude tag, but that's another problem)

Remove the Limitations of 12 Tags

You could only exclude 12 tags. You could add more but it won't be saved.
(You could try it for yourself. http://store.steampowered.com/explore/ )
You allow me to add as many tag as possible on a game, why do you limit my exclusion?
A coding problem? database? server?

Better Layout

Couldn't we fill up the empty space on the right? http://i.imgur.com/lClfp1U.png
Why not copy the "Add Tag" Layout? http://i.imgur.com/6VFhkxz.png
Let's place the "Enter a tag" box above the excluded tags.

Let's add "Include tag", too. It is a discovery queue, after all!
Notice the blurb:
This game is in your discovery queue just to see if you might be interested.
Well, let me tell you what might interest me! Through the tags.
You could avoid showing games with certain tags in the queue,
couldn't you do the reverse? Only show me games with certain tags in the queue.

Option to Apply Not Interested on Products with Excluded Tags

This...is just my personal preference. Get those games out of my sight.
I don't want this, your automatized recommendation will not change my mind.

That's all I could think of.

I came here to +1 the Tags limit. The Turn Base has 3 versions of it! So 4 slots based on 1 feature.

This update ruined my discovery queue. I only buy Linux games and in the past it would only show me Linux games. Now it shows me everything, so it's just a waste of my time.

@WoodVTier: Ouch...that sucks. I didn't know about that.
Does Steamdb helps? https://steamdb.info/linux/
https://steamdb.info/sales/?category=999 < you could use this for sales, too.
Much better than steam's filters.

Would be great if it has the OSes Icons and we can check the one we want. Linux / Mac / Win

@Valve
This needs to be fixed. NOW.

I had finished my que for the day, then I saw customize your que, so.
I excluded Single Player from my que, and then it said it had another que for me.
So cool, but the first game in my que was single player =(
TY

As someone on the Mac side of the fence, I'm in the same boat. Prior to this update, viewing my queue from the Steam client would show me games which were available on OS X.

With this update now, it's ignoring my platform - meaning the vast majority of games in my queue are Windows ones, which are unplayable for me. The result is the discovery queue is pretty much useless.

Which is a *giant* shame, as I really dig the addition of filtering by tag :(

[Ajax]

why the hell is there a limit?

I can't add "Driving" "VR" or "JRPG" to my list without getting rid of "Visual Novel," "Racing," "Trading Card Game," et cetera.

Why do I have to choose between lesser evils? If I'm never going to purchase a product with a tag from my list it does not behoove valve to waste their time and energy with presenting me with one.

[Nost]

Ever since the discovery update the steam store and community has been plagued by an ugly blue theme. Let us revert to the black style instead, or atleast allow skin makers to edit it.

[Spu00Key]

They even have an interface for it already. Could just throw in Old Steam (instead of default) as an option.

Where's the better Q system!

I'm still experiencing the 12 tag limit on tag exclusions. Valve doesn't communicate anywhere that they intend for users to be limited to 12 tags, and there's no visual feedback that tags 13 and onward aren't being saved.

[Gorwe]

I came here to give support. Tag limit needs to be increased because I think that everyone could fill 18 tags with no problem. 18 tags being my proposal. If not that, 15'll do.
