We've all been accustomed to Valve's Steam layout (GUI) for many years now and little has changed. Well, that is about to change as over at GDC Valve has announced with is going to overhaul the GUI.... Valve To Overhaul for Steam GUI
Indeed, more bloat. I prefer steam the way it was back in the day - nice and simple. Personally, from all those features steam has now, I use 20% tops. But then again, if they keep an option to disable stuff that you don't need then I'm fine with additional stuff. If people want something, let them use it, just don't make it mandatory. Give people Choice.
Meh, I was wishing for a more clearer look too. As well as mostly, a more responsive and logical market interface.
I Features i will not ever use. More useless memory usage. They should be start using modules to save some.
Vast majority of the time I never even open Steam app. All my games have desktop shortcuts that I use.
Let me guess, it's going to be yet another desktop application that looks like a mobile app. What happened to desktop computing? What the heck is going on?
Software bloat is a process whereby successive versions of a computer program become perceptibly slower, use more memory, disk space or processing power, or have higher hardware requirements than the previous version—whilst making only dubious user-perceptible improvements or suffering from feature creep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat Let's find something that is not bloatware in that screenshot. Hint: all the "library" should do in Steam is just a collection of games symbolic links
Although my main use of steam is to fire up a game and occasionally throw my money at it during sales, i doubt anything here will have any major impact on what i do with it already.....although if it helps improve steamVR with third party HDMs then that would be nice.
I'm not sure why they went with the Origin look, but what's wrong with keeping things simple like they did back in the day?
Can they add an option to get rid of all the crap that get released? don't want to see 10 million B**B anime simulator *SPAM* games, Rather see the good games. Kinda makes me sad i could be missing another great indie game like Bastion because the indie section is just full of tat :/ The GUI looked fine before, they keep adding too much that you have to scroll down now to see the useful stuff. Just want something clean and simple that i can customize to my liking, if i don't wanna see a certain type of genre then let me do that
Can't you already filter out genres or types of games that don't interest you? I distinctively remember getting rid of visual novels this way.
I mean, there's the "not interested" checkmark that (after a few of these on a certain genre) already modifies the recommendation algorithm, and I am fairly positive that you can manually get rid of entire genres from the get-go (I'm at work now, so I can't check). What I would like is the ability to filter out the "gaming news" bar that appears in the library under selected games. Or at least to set preferred sites. I can't stand RPS, but I would like to have more of Eurogamer, for example.
