Please remove "What's New" section!

[Duncanyoyo1]

Or at least give me a way to turn it off!

It's completely unnecessary and essentially advertisement for games I don't play, in my library.
If I wanted to see what was new with Garry's Mod I would go to the respective Community page for it or you know click on it in my library to see whats new.

It should not be on the top of my Library, especially when it's not even installed.

Also, please give a way to hide or show games owned by other people. This was taken away with the new interface as far as I can tell.

Also, I am not blind. Please give me a way to make things smaller. I have it set to small, and everything is still massive for no reason. It's so hard to find anything when you can only see like 8 games at a time.

It would also be nice to have more than 15fps for the interface.

mind you that from the store even though you disable streaming, you still have store pages such as the one from Borderlands 3 do have another stream window which can't be disabled through normal steam options and you need to edit webkit.css file by adding this

.broadcast_embeddable_bordered_container_3zXpF {
display: none !important;
}

.broadcast_embeddable_Event_1A0NY.broadcast_embeddable_bordered_container_3zXpF {
display: none !important;
}

It seems that this update is really about catering to developers.

I can understand that letting players and developers get and stay in touch is a noble sentiment, but it has to be something people really want to do mutually, rather than something that's just forced onto people.

The way you make people want something is by:
1. showing them the thing
2. giving them the choice to decline it, and the time to think about the decision.

That will give people the opportunity to update their workflow gradually to take advantage of the new resources available to them.

It won't happen immediately, but you can't force people to like something anyway.

Typical jack***** that think forcing animations of possible customers is a good thing. All because possible customers can block other forms of videos from playing automatically. It's as if people in control of things they want or not want to see = Bad for sales. Stupid if they are already on the page.

Personally I stopped browsing the store because of these. When I identify a game and I'm ready to buy I do it as quickly as possible. I ain't browsing whilst animations are forced on us.

Like a pushy salesman at a store. Ask once fine but keep going and I'll walk out and go somewhere else. Don't have much choice if game is only on Steam but I don't have to like or pay attention to it. It's search > Store Page > Add > cart > checkout

Yes, they are. And Valve developers support this absurdity.

Me too. Browsing the store with a low bandwidth connection (where i live fiber isn't available) and with a 1360x768 monitor is totally a pain. Valve don't want my money, so i go on others store to purchase games (usually Fanatical).

Keep looking for a way to block animated gifs but no luck so far. Wouldn't be so bad if you could toggle it like the videos

And I have 200mbps and multiple displays so performance and bandwidth isn't the issue. Its the complete lack respect for their customers. It's well known that a proportion or web users block ads, scripts and video from playing. Doesn't matter the reason they do it just that business must force their advertisements.

It's like hey you came to browse our products. Thanks while you here watch this and shove a video in your face. If they did that in the physical world customers would not only leave some would punch there staff in the face.

I designed websites years ago. Old html not all the fancy html that means every site must reload everything when you click to view another page or section or apply a filter. Doesnt' matter if it's cached their is absolutely no need for it to happen. Sure the old days using frames to organise wasn't without it's issues but at least it meant only loading/refresh what was required.

Yeah people have better than dialup and fast system but why suck up all that bandwidth and resources just because you can.

I actually left after multiple arguments over Fancy new looks and what others were doing when I designed for efficiency. They didn't like it so I said fine be selfish and penalise you customers and walked out. Took them 3 weeks to get a replacement. A replacement that had to not only redesign everything I was working on but also had to start updating dozens of other sites too. I heard it took him almost 6 months. and god how ugly and resource hungry they were.

I like to have all my games on a single platform, and Galaxy 2.0 is really terrible :)
The sad part is that Steam is still the better alternative. Not because Steam is better (it isn't anymore) but because the others are far worse.

I left deviantart for this kinda stuff, I am using old reddit... why do web designers insist on making everything big and removing borders around surfaces?

i've completely stopped coming here with the client. i use small mode with no browser after downloading all my games. i use my linux with ff and add ons to block that bs. just too much

i just don't understand the lack of choice.

I thought I was the only one thinking the animated gifs use was getting out of hand.
Hadn't realised they were getting that big thought and must be nibbling into caps for those that have them.

Ties into part of why I don't like the redesign with dev streams, what's new, community content ect. Lots of wasted data loading up when I just wanted to manage and launch my games. Sort of forces people who don't want to (or cant afford to) do that to use small mode or shortcuts. Thankfully old version still works for now since still find the redesign feels clunky and cluttered layout

If you're looking for a launcher there's also PlayNite. Also there's another program that can run some Steam games and can act as a launcher with a much simpler interface than Steam, but I probably shouldn't say more about it specifically. But I actually don't care much for launchers myself though.

Perhaps more importantly, it's probably better to divest yourself from Steam now. The more games you have stuck on Steam, the harder it will be when Steam becomes intolerable to use. At least no matter how much Galaxy sucks you can always kick it to the curb.

I have a folder on my desktop and pinned to quick access called Steam Games. All my installed games have shortcuts in that folder. I haven't launched a game using the client since the changes. Unless changes and or with options come in I'll stick to shortcuts.......I suspect that will be the case.

I've tried playnite and don't like it. It's still a bloated javascript application build over a chromium framework At least is better coded than the new Steam library
I wonder why every programmer nowaday want to use a so heavy, slow and sub-optimal script language as javascript for interfaces, instead of a proper programming language.

Giving people the option to only show updates for specific games would be nice.
