    I love how Valve’s strategy is basically just ‘don’t piss off the customers and occasionally do something super fucking cool’, while everyone else in the space seems to be cutting off their nose to spite their face

      don’t piss off the customers

      Unless it’s their UI, they love to do pointless changes nowadays. On top of the stuff mentioned by the other replies

        any and all UI changes will make people angry

        steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless

          At least they kept some of the old ones, still kinda dumb that to access the old tags system you have to click search with an empty search field of all things. Also kinda weird that they killed old skins so fast, I don’t have anything against using SFP and patching in a new one but it’s gotta be really demotivating for skin creators.
