The Division 2 is skipping Steam

What I want are more effective filters for me to use so I don't have to search through tons of shovelware games when looking for deals. If there is a method where I can ignore these on their lists then by all means tell me. I would be thrilled. That being said, there is nothing wrong with someone wanting to not see a ton of these little games. I'm not advocating that Steam block or make these games hard to find. I simply want a tool I can use to not have to sift through hundreds of "Oppai Girl" or "Elder Killer" games. I don't have any issue with these games existing. Hell I was fine with AIDS Simulator or Active Shooter. They just don't have any relevance to my interests and it's a pain in the ass for me to browse their lists because of it.

I'm aware that Alchy has pointed this out to you, but Steam definitely does give you various options to remove what you dislike seeing on the storefront. You can use tags to block, click on "not interested" to never see the game again, or simply use the discovery queue each time you get a chance to make use of it, effectively tailoring the storefront to show more of what you want to see, and less of what you don't want to see.

It's thanks to the queue primarily, as well as the tagging system, that I am able to completely filter out any upcoming or current early access title, meaning I only see complete games, or games that are due to release. 

Steam gives us these options that their competitors don't bother dabbling with. No other storefront gives us multiple options like that to filter what we want to see, while people act brainlets in championing Epic, a company who hasn't really cared for PC gaming in a very long time, and only now do they do small steps because we scream at them for it, not because they want to, but because they have zero choice. They either do what Steam does, or they face getting slapped by consumers (at this point they seem to care more for devs, while some devs are actually trying to tell Epic to care about consumers).
