How do we List View in the new Steam Library???

[|UGA|PatPeter]

I've used List View in Steam for the past 12 years. I've never wanted to use Detail View. I've never wanted to use Grid View.

All I want is a list view of all my games with the Metascore, Developer, Last played (MOST important feature), and Size on Disk (second most important feature) at a glance.

I don't want to have to click every game individually to get this kind of information.

How do I enable list view?

[skwiss]

you don't

[|UGA|PatPeter]

That's ridiculous. Why is Steam migrating to a new Library with REDUCED functionality?!

How do I use List View, now that the new Steam Library is live?

[Kal]

I really want the old plain text list view back too. It's the only one I ever used, or wanted to use.

I warned them over and over that List View was a core feature. They seem to have completely ignored the beta feedback.

[AgentElrond]

Same here. I've used it since the Half-life 2 days in small mode. I love no graphics, not even game icons, since it's incredibly fast and responsive and lets me sort the lists.

Now the feature has been deleted, they ignored all requests for it in beta as people endlessly begged them not to delete it, and now they've force-deleted it for all users.

I guess the effective forced ads in What's New can't even be disabled. This is the future.

The future is ♥♥♥♥ then.

I have over 900 items (not counting DLC) in my library, impossible to manage with new UI

[Benskind]

Why? Why did they decide to get rid of the list view...
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!!

To monetize the time you spend looking at your game launcher by pasting adverts over every free pixel of it.

Welcome to Software as a Service! It's adverts or subscription fees now, take your pick. Increasingly, it's both.

I'm bailing on Windows once 7 becomes unusably insecure after end of support, since Wine (and, ironically, Valve's port of it) are good enough now to run most games I want to play (still have my free Win10 update install keyed to my hardware sitting on a spare HDD somewhere if I REALLY need it), and I'll likely bail on Steam as well if they follow the industry trend. For me, it's only a DRM client and launcher, so I lose literally nothing by playing with my toys in a different sandbox.

You can't get the large Mode Library List View back as far as I can tell, but you CAN still force the client to use Small Mode, as helpfully noted by some other posters on threads I've read. Enter "steam://open/minigameslist" without the quotes in the navigation bar of your file explorer or a web browser, or create a shortcut and point it to that address. You can also force the client to launch in Small Mode from its own shortcut by adding "-open steam://open/minigameslist" (without quotes) after the executable path listed in the shortcut.

PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION CHANGE BACK TO THE OLD UI.

beecause this is what the chaotic mess that is epic launcher looks like, and valve are scared. because of people who game on their phones and need big pictures to see on tiny screens instead of text, which would possibly mean steam is aiming to go full iphone (cr)APP on us.

Please Valve, give us List View back.

Valve,
how can something like this happen?
It's a platform for games. Why would you want to spoil people's enjoyment of the game? Many people have invested thousands of Euros in Steam. Never thought that this could have disadvantages.

Convert YOUR Shop as much as you want, but leave OUR collection alone! Then we can decide to buy somewhere else, but how can we export our games from steam?

Imagine yourself: You buy a game in the shop, sort it at home into your collection (It looks awsome. You love your collection. And you love the shop.) and the next time you wake up, it talks to you and want a lot of things from you.
But what you want to see hides it from you. And all the borrowed games you might want to attract to decide if you should buy them are suddenly in your own collection. Imagine the disappointment when someone wants his games back!

We all bought from Steam because it was the way it was. Please give us at least the opportunity to change it ourselves. You are good at selling: Sell us the new design, dont force use.

P.S. Do you think we gamble with tablets and touchscreens? This would explain your desicion, but you are wrong.
