Steam adds new store options to allow users to hide controversial games
Steam has been changing, lately. Especially since its controversial brush with adult games that lead to the company having a more "open" mindset and allowing all games, regardless, instead of individually curating each entry on the Steam Store. This has caused some backlash amongst users who wish to not see certain types of genre of game on the store. And as of now, Steam has addressed those concerns by adding in a new filtering system. Users can block up to 10 genre tags in order to prevent certain types of games appearing on the storefront. "Adult" and "mature" game filter options were also implemented, the first of which prevents games with sexual content from appearing in your recommendation list, and the latter, which is a filter for overly violent games. Alternatively, you can block an entire publisher or developer from showing up on your customized store browsing. This is yet another step in the direction of Valve opting to have its users curate the Steam Store, rather than Valve needing to individually address titles and remove certain types of games.
