Why would you download demos if you weren't going to play them as soon as they are added to your library?

When it comes to Demos, when I download them, I jump into them right afterwards. The quicker I am able to test them, the better. I don't stack Demos up. I remove them after I try them and then, I move on.

You can also just create a "Demo" list and add them to it.

I don't know about you, but I have over 800 games in my library that I legitimately own and I have over 4 hours in most of them, several breaking thousands. I rely heavily on dynamic collections to organize them for myself.

Also, it sounds like we are different people. I look over the demos available and if one sounds like one I would like, I install it. I may not be in the mood to play it at that exact moment, but I will be at some point. Why are you so critical of a feature request that has 0 affect on you but would be helpful for others who operate in different ways. I add games to my library when I am waiting on something to finish processing at work, I can't play it, but I can add it for later. Different strokes for different folks, my man.

And I have over 900+ games that I own myself and depending on the game, has a decent amount of hours in it (if it keeps me interested/hooked = more game time in said game)

I just create new lists and add whatever games to it myself. That's what I meant, why can't you just make a "Demo" category in your Library and put all of your Demos in there?

I don't know why you wanted to mention how many games you own and this/that. Stick to the main topic, "Demo Tag?" and yeah, sorry for mentioning how I play and deal with Demos.

Not everyone is the same. I just threw my two cents in there for no reason.

it would be nice to have demo tag to quickly find any demos in library and create dynamic collection for demos

Type Demo into the library search bar. Shift+Click the first demo and the last demo in the search to highlight them all (control+click for highlighting individual titles), right click and add to a category.

I'll throw two more cents specific to Steam Next Fests. What I do is that I download bunch of demos at once. I do have a static demo collection, though maintaining it is bit extra work. Having dynamic demo category would remove the maintenance burden and would allow me to have unplayed demos queue in library home page.

Not as big problem outside the fests as my queue is usually one or two demos instead of twenty.

At least I do have that information at the bottom of my static demo category if I sort by playtime.
