That's not a new feature at all. You can already do this in Steam.

Jesus fuck it's horrible

Looks like pretty much every game store. I haven't used Steam in years, didn't it look pretty much like that already?

literally all I want is to be able to sort my games by last played, status, and size on disk so I'm really looking forwards to them removing all of those

They better not go the fucking Google route and force this shit eventually. I really don't like the look of this at all. I just want to keep it the way it is. I like the way the current Steam library looks because it's all you need. It's clean, it's efficient.

Steam Blog is now a "game"? I always have trouble finding any Steam published news because their site is a bit of a mess.

If you click the title it links to this: steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1608269907266250853
Clicking "All events" leads to recently updated games: store.steampowered.com/updated/all/
And clicking Steam Events leads to the news section of the "game": steamcommunity.com/app/593110/allnews/#scrollTop=0

Is this all new stuff in preparation for 17th?

I don't like how these look at all but this look is alright.

No one uses this, dude. I have NEVER seen a person use this in my life. Everyone that uses Steam uses the list option.

I hate this garbage Netflix design.
I hate how everyone is using it.
Fuck that design.

Why does valve keep messing up shit. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE KEPT THE OLD GREEN STEAM!

unfortunately there's no chance they won't force it. remember the steam friends BS? they forced that eventually, the old layout is gone forever at this point. they made it so you can't even force the old layout in the program settings.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't always a fucking mandatory swap. Like for fuck's sake just let your consumers have options. If it's just cosmetic there is literally no harm.

The list is literally on the left hand side of that picture.

oof

the good thing is devs will finallly fix their artwork (or at least some) for 4k displays and proper poster art, not that marquee shit that looks like ass on TVs

dude this is giving me eye cancer

dev told me 1-2 weeks until next update, and its apparently a major change from what we currently are using, i also feel frustrated having to wait so long between updates and finding out whats going on with it.

Okay?

What a stupid thing to say,

but steam has a good interface and we're recognizing it's going to a worse one you absolute muppet

I'd do that with music but due to the way Windows handles file opening it keeps asking me how I want to open the file.

explain how

Please don't fuck with the Metro skin.

there are people that don't do this?

I think I know what you are referring too
they have some stupid shit about file types, and the new system to do it overrides the old one
open a section called "default apps" in settings and get rid of pic related there
if you don't do it, no matter how much you override the different file extensions, the search thingy will open the default app there

I clearly understand the demo effect
I mean, opening your library, and looking at all the gorgeous artwork... but further down the line, when you have enough games to make the UI struggle, you stop caring, you create a Favorites or a Queue category, and get a tiny list of games you are currently playing
or even better,

money can be exchanged for goods and services

There's less wasted space than the regular Steam UI. UI elements only take up as much space as they need to, freeing up more space to view the actual content you want to see. Here it is in small mode.

Groove is long gone. If I set default to WMP it works fine. I remember reading foobar forums and basically they can do nothing about it.

Yawn. Why bother?

it doesn't work if you check the "always open mp3 files"?
I don't mean uninstalling groove
I mean changing that to foobar

>Small mode looks near identical to skinless
Except that it removes all of the useless padding that skinless Steam has. Which again, leaves more space for you to look at the actual content.

It better at least have better tagging/sorting/filtering for the library, it should be on par with the systems used for the store.

how about some new games instead?
yeah, didnt think so

Very funny user.

i'm looking forward to be able to filter my library by tag. if i feel like playing a strategy game at the moment i have to scroll through hundreds of games and i'll still probably miss one while going through them all.

The padding is there for clarity. Compact has worse readability and is therefore objectively inferior.

these pictures are kind of weird, because the new site pages they are debuting use the new full blast blue, but this new pics are back to generic steam gray

They really should decide on one uniform style and stick to it. Store and client and community UI are stylistical mess.

I really hope they didn't went with fucking Electron like they did with friends list. Shit just works slower than the old one. But seeing the leaked files I doubt it's not the case here.

ill suck you off if you get around to DDDA

>a launcher for your launchers
when do we get a launcher that launches either the playnite or gog launcher which can start your actual launchers?

Still in beta. Should be out later this year or early next year.

Give it some time.

This is a simple situation, but the debate around it in this community is extremely retarded, but this is an important 'microcosm' of the bigger picture that deserves some attention.
Here, let me explain:
No one is assessing the point of having a list of reviews to begin with.

The OBJECTIVE point is obvious: to record the individual sentiments of a certain group of people about the product and make it available to a certain group of people who may be considering interacting with the product.

The leftists simply try to qualify every aspect of the definition illogically.
They totally contradict the simple, objective truth above.
They try to limit whose review should count at all, who should be able to see whose review, they try to say that people need to have a certain motivation for their sentiments, and so on.
All without any reasoning at all.

The bottom line is this:
The sentiment is out there and it's associated with the game and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Trying to stop it or advocating for stopping it reveals you as DISHONEST and MANIPULATIVE.

Isn't Steam already a unified launcher for Steam, Uplay, Origin, EGS and GOG? It's not like GOG2 stops the other launcher from needing to be installed or booting in the fucking background which is why people don't want eleventy-three fucking launchers in the first place.

It looks bad - cluttered as fuck. I don't give a shit about "What's new" or "Recent friend activity".

Can you filter by Metacritic score or reviews?

Steam desperately needs a garbage filter.

This, fuck the old news section. I hope you will only get official announcements from the devs in the new style.

> It's not like GOG2 stops the other launcher from needing to be installed or booting in the fucking background
That's their aim afaik. The whole launcher integration involves signing in using a specific launcher's details, so you can bypass using the actual launcher. They were working on this the last time I checked up on it, but I'm not sure whether it's still a priority.

I have absolutely zero faith that this will ever come to pass.

The whole point of developers demanding that you use their launcher is that they want to be able to shove ads for their store's products in your fucking face every time you play a game. That's the entire function (including for Steam). It doesn't make business sense to enable the end-user to bypass the process of opening and viewing the launcher; if it did, they never would have developed their own fucking launcher in the first place.

This shit goes nowhere, I promise.

Looks like I'll get to use the new steam UI before I get access to the GOG beta I signed up for months ago. No wonder GOG is such a continual failure, they have one opportunity to get an advantage of steam and they still manage to fuck it up by not giving access to their beta before it becomes antiquated.

So much wasted space.

I think you've missed the mark of the whole reason why there's different launchers, ads are the tip of the iceberg.

First is revenue, rather than splitting money with a different service, they'd rather get the full amount. Upkeep and servers cost less in the long run. Second is data. As long as you're registered to a service, you've give them all they need to sell your data.

GOG Galaxy 2 does nothing to stop either of those.

that's your library

>First is revenue, rather than splitting money with a different service, they'd rather get the full amount
You don't need to develop a launcher for that, genius. Minecraft just sells the fucking game through their website. Hell, most of the stores allow you to use the web version of the client to make purchases (I know Steam and EGS do). Buying the game through a publisher's version of Amazon would be cheaper than developing and maintaining a software storefront.

>Second is data. As long as you're registered to a service, you've give them all they need to sell your data.
Again, don't need a launcher for this, at least not really. I guess the launcher can scrape shit while it's active in the background, but to your point, you give over your data when you register.

Again, why not do it like Amazon? Why not make you sign up for an account, buy games, and then get download links? Fuck me, any developer could do that, today, right now, with Steam, you can generate codes on the back-end free of charge (which is how Humble gets them, for instance), or just provide links to executable files like every other software developer on the planet.

The reason for developing a launcher specifically is to "bring you into the store" every time you boot a game up. It's all about eyeballs on advertisements. Any service that doesn't actually want you to boot up their piece of software every time you play a game would have sold their game through some website instead of a piece of software.

So to think that GOG2 is going to get permission to reverse-engineer all of these launchers' credentialing data so that end-users can bypass the launcher completely at startup is a pipedream. No fucking dice, user. Nobody's gonna allow that.

It all makes sense now

Trash.
Can I keep the current one, at least?

>So to think that GOG2 is going to get permission to reverse-engineer all of these launchers
What makes you think CD Projekt is reverse-engineering or even touch code from other companies? Microsoft, Steam and EA have already gave them a backdoor.

>But, a good library shouldn't just be dusty shelves, it has to be a fun place to explore and find whatever it is that you're looking for. Whether you want to keep up to date about what's happening with your games, find a game to play with your friends, or explore what's happening in your game's community, your library should support you.

FUCK YOU STEAM

Who are you to decide what a "good library" should be? Pic related is my idea of a good library, I don't need any of this tacky gimmicky shit on top, what absolute arrogant fucking cunts.

If this bothers you so much why not just go straight for the games? I don't care at all about anything besides the bar on the left and its games so I just don't read anything and click the game I want to play. But I can only assume you're either a whiny bitch or a massive retard since small mode exists

Why not just put them under hidden? Or get Steam to remove them from your library permanently? Man for someone who doesn't like gimmicky shit you sure don't like using anything that makes things simpler.

Your basis for this proof being your own assumptions and delusions, okay.

Likely won't work. Companies like Valve could just restrict third party logins on other launchers to prevent this and just claim it is for security reasons if there is any backlash.
Valve, Epic Games Story, Origin, etc are not just going to let GOG waltz in and let everyone sign into other clients and take away customers.

>buy ubisoft game from steam
>launch gog galaxy
>gog galaxy launches steam

no my basis for this proof is you complaining about gimmicky shit, people suggesting how to avoid that only to have you complain about not having "screenshots" or some shit show up despite there being a button to view all your screenshots in the, guess where, very same menu you get to small mode in.

store.steampowered.com/updated/all/

Any idea on how much memory this new UI is going to eat up?
I'm a RAMlet, so I hope it doesn't impact us poorfags too greatly.

Try reading the OP

Meh. Playnite is still better.

People are only jerking that off because MUH CDPR.

You can thank Epic Games for forcing Valve to start improving. Remember how terrible Friends was until Discord destroyed the competition? It's frustrating how we can never have a discussion because so many people are insecure and instantly shield themselves and precious Valve because they invested so much time and money in their platform. Money on games that were on sale which they've never played, by the way.

Come on, it doesn't take many brain cells to realize competition is GOOD for you. You should be happy for Epic Games and the others. It'll force YOUR precious platform to become better.

When Valve had a monopoly you never got changes. Nothing ever happened. All they did was sell more hats and monetize your Steam profile.

lmao what mate?

This shit has been slated since forever regardless of EGS' existence.

No one in their right mind would thank the cause of yet another brand of consolewar shitposting.

My point still stands. Half-Life 3 has been slated since the dawn of time. Valve only hurries up and does something when they're losing shekels. I'm sure the Friends revamp was also slated for years until Discord came charging through.

The images for the steam redesign were leaked in 2017 a year before EGS was announced.

>Steam does something
>SEE LOOK LOOOOOOOOOK WE DID THAT EPIC DID THAT LOLOLOL GABE IS SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS M-MUUUUUH COMPETITION

do you think valve actually considers egs competition? we've had other company's games stores for years and honestly even uplay's more successful than egs. And the UI redesign was a thing way before fortnite, yet alone egs.

Looks like an excuse to wedge the fucking Storefront into the Library.

>improving
Steam already had grid and list view, now it just has an abortion of grid and list slapped together.

Metro tiles have been a thing for over a decade, dumbass. I remember some Windows Phone I had like 7 years ago that had those fucking tiles everywhere. I hate those damn things. I miss when objects were 3D. Depth. Shadows. Buttons. This flat metro meme is a step backwards.

corners were round before they were squared. and they were squared before they were round. ie: Windows 3.1 > Windows XP > Windows 8.1.

Epic Games has double the amount of Uplay users, at least. Didn't take much research to find that out. Considering how Fortnite is the next Minecraft. The point is that it may have been in development for years, like Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, and all that, but they've only forced themselves to do something when under pressure. How many times do I have to repeat the same thing? It's not a difficult concept to understand.

No, I don't think Valve considers anyone competition. That's their issue. It's why they were riding the gravy train years ago and not caring about the competition. Back then everyone hated Uplay and Origin because they were bloated DRM, but now they work and look much better than Steam. And they took their games with them. Most AAA games are on other platforms and Valve started releasing any game they could because they got scared. Remember Greenlight? Yeah, you remember. It was a nightmare to get on. You had to TRY, but now it's filled with Unity cash grabs and degrades the entire store.

Yeah, okay Captain Chromosome, enjoy sucking off Valve for abusing you and shilling for them instead of forcing them to compete. A+ buddy. I hope Valve pays you.

>fortnite is the new minecraft
>it hasn't even been two years and it's already dying
Lol

is this for lulz mod or actual state of long war 2

don't worry youngling, you will love it when this style of design is replaced by a newer one or maybe you'll have grown out being a contrarian by then.

This looks like shit. What's the point in listing all your games TWICE?

>contrarian
>overwhelming majority dislike it

buzz buzz

well i thought you didn't like design purely because of modernization. if that's not the case and you actually don't like it because of valid reasons, it's all right.

I disagree with you, but will concede due to your quints.

Looks like shit. Big fucking squares for no reason. I don't give a shit what my friends are playing from day to day. I don't need a program to tell me what I've played recently. I suppose night games is just a player made category. Oh look there it is on the list to the left. I SURE AM GLAD ALL THOSE SQUARES ARE EVERY WHERE.

Looks like shit. Shit, I tell you! SHIT! SHIIIIIIIIIT!

It's literally the same but that useless shit listing PC Gamer and RPS got replaced with useful information.

I'm ashamed to share the same nation as that faggot.

Where are you getting your statistics from?
