Yet more Steam rantage.

[kane_magus]

So I'm looking at my Discovery Queue today, and I see a game, and I'm like why is it showing me this, and I scroll down and Steam tells me:

"Includes tags you've filtered out:
Massively Multiplayer"

Um, okay, so if I've filtered out the "Massively Multiplayer" tag, then... why the fuck are you showing me games that have that tag? Fucking hell, this isn't rocket science, or at least it shouldn't be.

(EDIT) And after that, yet another hentai game from another developer/publisher that I already previously Ignored as well. What's the point of even having Ignore filters, if Steam itself is going to ignore the Ignore filters? (/EDIT)

Decided to play around a little with the queues and add ignores like I usually do and I think I know why their ignores are pointless.

The short of it seems to be that just because it matches one of your ignored filters, if it can be matched with something that isn't, they'll recommend it based on the other thing anyway.

IE: The ignored feature really is truly pointless except at the specific-game level.

I ignored Electronic Arts but then they soon recommended another game where Electronic Arts was the publisher, but not the developer, and were recommending it based on it having the same massively common user tags of half the platform. (And then did it again, and again.)
