Now, you likely all know that Steam is having a sale.
And, as I attempt to browse the store, I'm depressed.
Steam has gone down hill in the past few years for several reasons.
It's filled with too much trash.
I can't find games I'm interested in, even when I reduce my search using filters, those filters really aren't all that helpful to me because they rely on end user's sometimes garbage data input.
I find no way to use negative filters.
I can't find a way using the Steam client list games under $5.
And when I go to the web to do it, THERE ARE 384 pages.
Price points are much too high.
Games I wouldn't pay $5 for are now an average of $9.99 and 'on sale' for 50% off.
Seems I remember, even a few short years ago some of the games I put on my wishlist for ~$7.99 and would have bought on sale for less than 5 are now $4.99 on sale.
I managed to find some fun games using 3rd party website articles regarding 'gem' titles on sale.
I shouldn't have to rely on 3rd party sites. Sure, optional, but shouldn't be required.
Yes. I'm cheap, but it seems the UI experience of Steam just isn't what I remember from some years ago.
Especially since it seems a 5 year old can throw some code together and have it on Steam.
