Is this an old meme? They revamped their UI and I think it’s (Steam) very intuitive now. I do remember when they had like 10 different styles of drop-down box on the desktop app. But, I don’t see that now.
Main function are ok, sure, but Steam still is is inconsistant, the 40 different css for buttons is not just a meme. It improved with the revamp, but that was only a few pages. Take a look at the community, workshop and profile page it’s a mess.
Same as discord it had a lot of feature creep over the years so it’s not easy to understand, but for me it’s worth giving up ease of use for theses features.
There was no improvement. Everythings factually worse now. Steam’s interface has been on a hard downward spiral ever since they tried to take small mode away from us a couple years ago, but recent updates have made it even worse since it no longer remembers windows size or position. So every fucking time I start it or switch between small/large mode, I’ve gotta resize the damn window and move it back to where it belongs. and thanks to all the bloat they’ve added to it its slower than ever to do any of that.
They seem to be trying real hard slow march steam into becoming a social media platform, Which is 99% of the problem and probably where all the stupid decisions are coming from. Steam doesnt need to be a slow, bulky social media platform. Its a fucking storefront. It needs to be light weight, slick, and fast.
Community and socials features exist since ages, I don’t think it’s going in a social media direction at all. I’ve never seen anyone using chats seriously for exemple.
But it indeed is getting worse as they add new features which clutter even more the interface. I don’t think the rework is better, but it wasn’t a downgrade either imo.
(I didn’t see the window position and size thing, but closing steam takes 1 more click tho, this suck)
