generally games that are going to be dumpsterfire sequels after the studio loses its best people due to in-fighting or whatever controversy.

a lot of game studios try to get one last squeeze using the name of the last successful title, that stuff isn't for me 👍

- sports games (unless its something very unique like blood bowl)
- most survival/crafting games, aye. just too many of them

i actually do not ignore VNs because there are a lot of very class ones, but ones that are about the "adult content" specifically i do ignore.

Cartoon sex

I dont really have games like that ill play anything, obviously if i have no interest in a game i wont buy it but i am always looking for new types of games to play.

If i were to block any it would be the vr games, but that's only cause i dont have one lol

Any game with “Assassin’s Creed”, “Call of Duty”, and “Grand Theft Auto” in the title.

I don't ignore games or tags, because Steams tagging system is janky af. I do just go right past any EA, Ubisoft, any of those Football manager asset flip games, hentai trash, generic lootbox filled games.

theres even good AVNs, but there is more bad than good. Curators are great for helping in this regard

Yeah I wont ignore tags, but I do ignore games whose first tag is survival or craft. Generally safest bet for me. But I agree the tag system needs work.

It's a shame, because there are great survival/crafting games out there. You just gotta wade through mountains of crap to find them.

Pay to win games, especially EA

i specifically do not ignore any survival/crafting games that appear to have horror elements, as a horror enjoyer.

Sport games, bullet hell, tower defense, mmorpgs, any Final Fantasy, any Gears of War, any CoD,

Thankfully covers are usually pretty good at showing you what to expect, especially with games like that, I'd rather skim over the crap and occasionally see something that looks interesting rather than just blocking it all out completely and miss the chance of finding gems.

EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and 2K games all end up on that list

The amount of analytics they run on your PC + the kernel-level anticheat solutions they settle with (on top of the money you payed) to play a video game + the ID/personal phone number requests on some occasions is too much.

It feels like I'm showing a birth certificate to ride a roller coaster; the trade-off doesn't make sense.

I've been finding now Steam is showing me alot more stuff I want to see now that I'm using the ignore, follow and wishlist system better.

You know you can set steam to filter out games from your store search results by their tags?
