I'm already dreading it. Steam was already full of junk being released by the dozens every single day. It's hard to think it could be worse.

I also think Steam does a great job a hiding it, and the new recommendation page is really great IMO. Other than some generic AAA, it introduced me to really great games I enjoyed based on my play history.

The more content is available, the more curation is important and IMO their algorithm currently does a good job at it.

Steam kept pushing a game as "recommended for you" with 99% negative reviews.

In what world would I possibly want to buy a game with a <1% approval rating?

There are some odd cases like that, but you can always "Ignore" a game and it'll never show up again. That also feeds into Steams curation for you based on your interests.

all stores in general are going to suffer. There needs to be a new model.

The field will spread. I'm working on what I'm intending up be the best game of my career, but you can ship barely functional slop in a few days.
