One thing I wish Steam would do to expand their ignore system is to let us write in an actual reason for why we're ignoring it. Sure, Steam will then share that with devs and the like - which might be a bonus really - but it'd help me remember why I have some things placed on ignore.
I've ignored entire publishers and in some cases I can't remember what ticked me off enough to do that to the entire publisher/developer. But I refuse to remove them from the ignore for the very reason that I can't remember. I'm not superfast to add things to ignore list outside of 3rd party DRM and online accounts, so if I ignored something to that extreme there was a valid reason to me.
In particular I'm known to dev/publisher ignore if they make one particular unforgiveable sin - try to hide their 3rd Party DRM until they're ratted out by gamers that find it themselves. That's always a 100% blanket boycott with no expiration date to me. There is NO way they "forget" to mention it. Especially if they at first deny it's there until it's explicitly proven otherwise.
I just went through a queue of games while typing this. 3 ended up on ignore for DRM, one of those also included the Live connection. Also, while Denuvo is the primary 3rd party drm of choice these days that I end up having to blacklist a game for, I'm really not picky about what 3rd party drm they try to use - it all ends up ignored.
