Big changes to Steam: 'Discovery Update' adds curators, recommendations, and hides unpopular new releases

The Steam homepage finally has a new look! A very slightly different, bluer new look! OK, it looks about the same, but the functional changes in today's 'Discovery Update' are really big.

Feeling da Blues!

For the most part I like it. I'd wish the curator part was lower on the page, an easier way to go from the game page to it's forums, it still recommends some games that are in my wishlist, and to have a list of the games I marked as not interested, I think most of them are from Greenlight. All in all, I welcome the changes and see room for improvement.

Steam wants some of that sweet sweet PS4 success.

tbh it sucks.

blue text on blue buttons is eye cancer.


Also super tiny font with green on green for sales -10% etc is as dumb.

And especially the dark blue  "genre list" on even darker blue background  wtf?

And that the some text,  platform icons (linux windows etc) and pricing is a somewhat dark shade of grey on the dark blue background is also not helping.


Some serious idiot messed up hard here.

Exactly what i thought lol

Kind of what I expected seeing as how the Steam symbol on my toolbar turned deep blue some time ago. I like it!

it is certainly rough around the edges. hopefully they polish it up over the next few days (months)

tbh white text on a black background is the biggest eye cancer ever. This is actually an improvement.

The biggest eye cancer is green text on red background etc

White on black is a bit better than the above mentioned. 

But steam never had that. Steam had several shades of grey etc. And like the "community activity bar" had white text on blue.



dark green (very old steam)  bad design ...



The person that did the new steam design should attend web design class.


i mean seriously? Orange deal timer box with blue letters? WTF? 

its not that they have completely no idea how do do it because when you dont scroll down  you see a WHITE windows logo on blue background NOT a dark grey one. You also see pricing with brigther grey so the contrast between background and letters is much better. But as soon as you scroll down  everything gets worse. Small icons less distinguishable colors etc.


Grey steam is by far the best overall design.
