Steam newsletter
I'm not good at keeping me updated on news about my games. So I would ask, if there are someone who knows if it is possible to subscribe to a newsletter, containing news about ones games? And if it is possible to specify newsletter to only contain news about some selected favorite games?
If these newsletters not exists, I would suggest this.

(Sorry for bad English)

A newsletter would it be nice

Indeed!
I think, I miss a lot of good news because of that... So it would be really nice to get a newsletter, that was adapted to my interest and favorite genres.

You can "Observe" a Steam game and the news about it will appear in your activity tab... besides that there is Steam news "blog?"

EDIT:
Steam news link
http://store.steampowered.com/news/

Great !!!

But it would be interesting to be able to filter all these news.

I would be interested to know about:
1) all new releases of free-to-play and free games (for example Mya of the desert free on the store from 24/04/2020, Juiced! Free-to-play on the store from 23/04/2020),
2) paid games that have recently become free (e.g. A.V., AX: EL, Yet another zombie defense, Planet explorers, Secret World, Counter-Strike Global Offensive),
3) free games for a limited period of time (e.g. Polyball Free to keep when you get it before 1 May @ 7:00 pm, Drop Free to keep when you get it before 27 Apr @ 8:00 am, PAC-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION 2 Free to keep when you get it before 10 May @ 7:00 pm).

And maybe receive these news via email or rss feed

In addition, the two games recently offered on the store, with 100% discount, were not mentioned in the news:
- Total War: SHOGUN 2
- PAC-MAN ™ CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION 2

So even in the news there would be something to improve

You can also follow a curator, it will have a very similar effect.

If you go to the store main page, you'll eventually scroll to see curator lists... It looks just like more reviews and items. There's a name associated with them, and you can click on them. It was underneath the Queue and ad for the Index on the store page, for me. Right under that,. "Suggested curators" i think it was called.

Yep. Main menu Store/Curators

Be warned, around 50% of curators are ♥♥♥♥♥ and are only in it for the follows. Choose wisely.

Thanks,
I would like to take advantage of your expertise a little more,
can you recommend any good curator for my request?

"I would be interested to know about:

Thanks again

Curators of free games?

Well, that would be scraping the bottom of the barrel. My suggestion, find yourself a small income stream, and budget about $10 per month on games. Use the Steam labs to find these games, it has filters for everything. Note, they will mostly be games that are cheap because they are in Early access, or will be really old games.
Then add actual good cheap games to a wishlist and wait for them to come on sale at 50% or better, buy said game whenever it does. If it's a good game, it will be 5-10 hour of gameplay, unlike a freebie which are often 30 minutes and upwards, and often a waste of your time. If you have more than 200 hours of gaming time per month, you probably are in need of a bigger challenge anyway.

Look up a google for lemon economy : Which will explain why cheap, is, well, cheap.

Thanks for the reply,
I wanted to highlight for example that in the news these free games are not always notified:
for example the game Showdown bandit (Free to keep when you get it before 1 Jun @ 6:00 pm) and even if I do a search on the steam search store setting the narrow by price to "0" (free) I can't find this offer .
It would seem that there was not much interest in advertising these free games.
Here is the reason for my request
And I was hoping you could show me a way or an affable curator
