but can we block entire publishers from appearing yet?

[–] atkdef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You can.

Open a publisher page, then in the top right corner, look for a gear icon. Click it, and there's an option to ignore this publisher.

Unfortunately there's a limitation. This works only for those having a dedicated publisher page. For publishers without a dedicated page, Steam will fallback to the search page, which doesn't provide a way to ignore this publisher.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I can maintain my silly decades old grudge vs Stardock now, haha.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm curious as to why. Granted I don't even think I own a game by Stardock that I'm aware of, but always down for buying more ethically if they've done something heinous

Mostly for the fun of having a grudge at this point, haha. A long time ago when I was a kid they made a name for themselves with the "Gamers Bill of Rights". It earned them a bunch of goodwill, and then they immediately released a game in a completely broken state missing half the features they advertised. At which point they dropped their "gamers bill of rights" and refused to give refunds like it stated.

Not particularly heinous by todays standards though I guess.

that's the issue I ran into. just wanting to block everything AAA

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

EA, Origin, Microsoft, etc.

That doesnt seem to actually do anything though? Like they still show up all over the place. Why can't I block them across the board?

Better yet, can we please disable video autoplay without the media feed scrolling automatically?

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

still no way to block the annoying whats new row in my library.

[–] deroyonz@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago

wdym, it already had an infinite scroll

Valve just please fix the fucking phone apps...

Steam Chat is like dog diarrhoea splashed over a fat girls tiddys.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You use steam chat on your phone?

Huh. Never even occured to me to do that.

So, why do you do that?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I don't, that's the issue lol.

I'd like to, but it's a horrid experience.

Because the only other messaging app I use is Signal, and some of my Steam friends don't use it.
