Steam Discovery Update

A long-overdue update, IMO. With Greenlight Steam has been cluttered with far too many games for the average user to delve into and gauge their worth.

I am intrigued by displaying the overall rating (even if it is overwhelmingly negative) next to the title on the deal pages; at those prices people are willing to take a chance on less polished titles, and in these showing the community's opinion will only serve to hinder purchases. As a consumer, however, I am indifferent as I (and I hope everyone else) read reviews before making a purchase.

The addition of having curators is an interesting development. Not having to read reviews but instead click a curator's page to see what is worth playing will give enormous power to these personalities which will be shifted away from the companies that produce them; no longer can publishers withhold games on launch since diehard fans of say, Totalbiscuit, may only purchase games with his seal of approval. However, these curators may lose hits on their original videos (like the aforementioned "WTF is...?" series) as it is so much easier to scroll through a list than pay attention to a video for thirty minutes.

EDIT: One UI complaint, though: when hovering over a game, a bubble with information (with user tags) shows up. It would be great if I could click these tags (as well as everything else displayed) and go to the related page.
