Discovery Queue customization

Warm greetings.

Over time I have noticed that the discovery queue has customisation to exclude certain game types, but it does not have the apparent option to favour game types (without going though the trouble of adding every possible exclusion to only show what remains).

So the leaves me wondering what innovative ways people use to better match the discovery queue to their changing interests.

Also I know this can be tricky as the discovery queue is also mostly about trying to promote games to people who may not normally be interested and to add value to the sales platform of the steam business model.

But as an end user this can be a bit of a let down when it means the discovery queue largely shows content that is too generic (even with limiting the results via the exclusion option).

Feel free to share your positive thoughts :-)

Kind Regards
Michael

discovery queue (also the separate new releases queue) is one way to find games on Steam
it is the equivalent to (slightly filtered) "window shopping"

it shows you mainly things that are:
- popular
- positive reviewed (Steam and metacritic)
- seemingly random (but also popularity-driven)
and prioritizing games you have played in the past matching them via their tags and trivializing games that were already shown to you via the queue.
you can apply 12 (existing) tags for exclusion to each queue. that is about it.

for other needs, there are other methods to find games that work differently and allow more filtering options:

Sorry, but your well meaninged reply missed the point completely.

I am talking about the discovery queue your referring to the categories that list titles.

So yes I am familiar with how the tools in the categories sections work and how to manually search for a game.

My post was specifically about how to better encourage the algorithm to better react to individual preferences. And so far the only option is to have a very long list of excluded terms.

I doubt the discovery queue respects any tags and categories, I have been using it for many years and I already have like 3000 games in the "ignore" list, mostly in some specific genres and categories, yet each day I run the discovery queue it still shows suggestions for games I do not like and have their tags on the ignore list.

The recommendation list need to have better algorithm for game suggestions !!!

Perhaps post this to Suggestions & Ideas subforum.

I had the same question, it seems weird that you can only give negative tags. I guess it makes sense though, it tells the positive tags from the games you like.
I wish it let you have more negative tags, they limit the number you can have.
