3rd Party Account Requirements on Steam

owsf2000This has quickly become the second type of requirement that earns a Steam game an auto-ignore from me these days. I'm not signing up to a website to play a game on a platform I already had to sign up for. It's really the exact same reason why I have a zero tolerance for additional DRM on Steam - I already signed up and installed Steam, which is a form of DRM.
Reason I'm bringing this up now is because the last few game queues I flipped through had a bunch of these types of games. All of which are now ignored. You'd think Steam would try to keep track of things like this. "Hm. Every time we show this guy a game with third party DRM he quickly ignores it and moves on... PERHAPS WE SHOULDN'T KEEP SHOWING HIM THESE THINGS."

Date: 2021-10-17 08:20 pm (UTC)As a test I just tried to exclude "MMORPG" myself. It immediately decided to restart a new queue based on my new preferences.
I got half way through the queue when it showed me another MMORPG tagged game... either way it's not showing me any list of tags ignored so I have no idea if adding it worked or not, despite it actively reshuffling the queue. And I don't know how to find out what tags are being ignored - and I doubt I'll remember it.
