| Features-wise: -game inventories system. --extreme slowness and shittiness of this feature (pages not loading, low rate limits for looking at inventory pages) -player item trading. --trading experience sucks it also runs into the rate limit and inventories not loading. -steam market. --half-baked, can't sell quickly. If you get 5 items it takes like 2 minutes to list each individual item. This is ALSO affected by the slow pages. Using a bot is against the TOS but is also the only decent experience. -social hub for each game, maybe this is too opinionated but now every game is also a social media page. Bad/abandoned games even get used as an image hosting service for unrelated profile adornments. -streaming, intrusive streams in store pages. -Popularized if not invented loot crates which have now infected everything. -Popularized cosmetics micro transactions, which turned into far more expensive transactions. -created new types of FOMO for sales and incentivizing spending money via limited time trinkets (badges, stickers, profile customization), steam points. Opinions ofc but these range from being somewhat on target to wildly out there and speculative and on top of that many of their projects get quietly dropped and are left without support after initial release like the inventory ui and the market. |
