hate the new store, were its in your face and i only see a few titles at once and I don't feel like searching for hidden gems anymore.
its like they got kid junior programmers now, and all the wise programmers have left .

This is how the main store page looks every major sales event, for the duration of the event.

This is not new.

The website looks different than you are used to, because there is a discount event. It will change back to how it was soon. For the time being, you could try using the interactive recommender:

Or, the more likely explanation, it's due to the major seasonal sale that is taking place. No more different than Amazon during Prime Day, the front page is going to be more promotional than curation.

Explore the options from the blue ribbon, or use the search box.
