Immediatley fire whichever Dev is responsible for foisting "Year in Review" badge upon us.

[noYOU'REaHOOKER]

I've come across a few threads that were suspiciously closed for 'devolving into arguments' so anyone who come to this thread and tries to justify this asinine and senseless decision by Valve will be permanently blocked and ignored. Apparently Steam Moderators are unwilling to host debates here for whatever reason. Always re-assuring to see a "moderator" with a 1 year old Steam account shutting down comment threads critical of Steam.. totally re-assuring..

After avoiding clicking the damn "year in review" button that has infested my Steam Menu for months, today the application registered that I had clicked on it (when attempting to click my Inventory from the drop down menu).. immediately defacing my profile by putting this ugly badge on display that I did and do not want in any way, shape or form - removing one I did want in the process..

The fact that after years this 'working as intended' 'feature' is still causing Steam Users grief is beyond unacceptable. Whoever is responsible deserves immediate termination from Valve.

There is no way to dismiss this 'steam in review' plague that does not result in the hideous badge defacing your profile (and pushing aside one of the badges you actually wanted displayed and intentionally crafted)..

If left unchanged, this broken mechanic necessitates the ability to 'hide' badges that we do not want displayed from being displayed on our profile; keeping this system in place greatly disturbs my faith in Valve's decision making processes and ability to respect their customers most basic wishes and desires.

Let me be very clear; this badge defacing my profile without my consent does not convince me to craft more badges to replace it.

Conversely; it has made me decide I will never craft another badge unless this malicious mechanic is removed or otherwise mitigated.

If this topic does not interest or effect you simply move on to prevent being blocked and berated for attempting to derail the discussion.

What's funny is that could've been opened with and most people would've left it alone. Instead of you know coming out swinging.

more like they gave you an ugly statue that has some sort of value, but it has to be on display in front of your house, and if you accepted it or accidentally accepted it then it's just stuck there permanently with no way to remove it.

…. Some people plan their profile with intent for a wide variety of reasons; crafting badges that they wish to display on their profile in the 'recently crafted badges' location that shows four badges ….

People who “plan with intent” to control a profile element outside their control are setting themselves a needlessly stressful task.

…. By forcing every steam profile to display a refreshed badge in this location not only when they add a game to their library -and also annually on the anniversary of their account's creation; but also now with the asinine 'year in review' badge.. that leaves but a single slot out of FOUR for a user to display a badge that -they wish to display- for a period longer than a single year ….

I have so much crap that I rotate ‘em on the regular to get a chance to display even a small proportion.

But, yes, the existence of those badges rather entails they’ll likely recur.

…. Was this badge location on the profile designed to display that same three Steam Badges on every profile and one badge that the user intentionally crafted?

I find that doubtful ….

We’re agreed.

…. Alas that's the current functionality ….

That’s a non sequitur. You’d need to demonstrate that users-at-large are similar to you wrt badge creation.

…. I appreciate that you don't care or find this an issue, but why is it so difficult for so many people to appreciate or respect my wishes and the wishes of those who find this mechanic to be broken and repulsive? ….

No, it certainly is understandable to be upset that a badge is unexpectedly added to your profile. Transferring that to “I wish that ‘recent badges’ wasn’t” is what I find unjustified. I have and do perceive it as an activity feed rather than user-customized information.

Craft more badges and push it off of your profile. Simple. So much complaining over something that doesn't even matter and is fixed easily.

lol just read the part where you said you will never craft another badge. Quite the irony considering that's the only way you will get the year in review badge off of your profile.

Also, as has been said in all of these other threads about this, that section on your profile with the four badges? It's not meant to be aesthetic. It's for your four most recently crafted badges.

Stop trying to make it aesthetic, because you're going to end up losing every time.

The 20-year badge doesn't match either, so what now? I don't see you complaining about that one.

You can't push some off, I have the community badge and game number permanently there taking up 2 spaces, and the gold community one is really ugly. I don't mind the number count up at the front like you have in your profile, but a big yellow glowing circle is awful.

Very much this. The list of recently gained badges isn't an area of control. It'll change every year, it'll change with every game gained,chasing for that to have a specific shape is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb.

You got yohr badge showcase for you to control so control that.

[Volfogg]

That reminds me... I still haven't opened that year review of mine. Not because of annoying badge, but because of sheer apathy towards cosmetic features and curiosity if I can "miss" the badge.

It does raise a question though. Why is Steam so adamant at urging people to check that feature of little value?

Since the customization of the profile is not "armonyzed", users go -mad- to have control on some/not having control on some other, of their "personal space". Many people should not mock, belittle and flame the guy, they are just putting gas in fire. It's unfair, and they are sick humans. They will polarize him, and that rage can become something worse, for everyone.

About the issue:
There are so much new customizable areas in the profile, that not letting people control some of the old ones makes them annoyed. There is a weird, unbalanced, way of handle the profile personalization, and it is related to old thing meddling with new things.

This is some sort of versioning problem, is like new employees, while patching and repatching, do not keep a common memory, as the new dev/graphic UX group who comes after the previous does not gives a flip about what was done, they add new things, and they do not care of the impact these new features have in the "user experience", compared to the old ones.

Technically, it must be a smallness to add options to these things, but they do not care cause they are focused on other things, things to not lose money, as to not f**k up with laws (look how they are concerned about -18/+18 customization, or privacy, or whatsoever)

is this crusade of the forum jesters still going? Great I woke up just in time to watch this comedy act!

[Amaterasu]

It's still going on. I also know it's been reported a few times. No mods. But if I were to dare to say the word ♥♥♥♥ to one of em... I'd be eating a community ban.

There's a difference between "critical of steam" and "openly hostile towards other users". I would appreciate it if you didn't try to strawman.

Also didn't like getting called out in my own thread for your antics, so you had to construct a strawman against me in another?

If you can't push them off then where the bloody hell are they on my profile, they were there. So, I guess someone is telling pork pies...
