The new discovery queue sucks
It's awful.

I never watch the trailers for games, because they always waste my time with useless cinematics and flashy visuals that have nothing to do with the game. All I want to do are view the screenshots. In the old discovery queue, the very first thing I would do is click off the trailer because it wastes my time and switch to looking at the screenshots to see what kind of game it was.

In the new discovery queue, there is no way to view the screenshots. You are only given the trailer (which again, wastes my time), the description, and the tags of the game. There's not even a progress bar on the trailer, so I can't try to skip to the middle of the trailer to actually see the gameplay.

Now, if I want to view the screenshots, I have to right click "view store page", click "open in new tab", then click the screenshots on the store page. If I don't open the store page on a new tab, then clicking "back" will take me back to the main store screen outside of my discovery queue, so I have to scroll down and click on the discovery queue again, and I'm given a fresh new set of games, so I have no idea the games that I just missed out on seeing from my prior discovery queue.

It's awful. What used to be 1 click to switch over to the screenshots is now three clicks plus a page load. All just to see what the game looks like without having my time wasted by the trailer.

Truly awful. Now that the discovery queue wastes my time, I'll have to find some other way to discover new games on steam.

Sounds completely awful, wth
I have to agree with this.

I want to see the screenshots and player reviews.
Without those, the new discovery queue actually decreases the likelihood of me buying any of those games.

I have to agree also.
It is definitely a waste of time.

I've been looking for a way to send feedback to Steam about the discovery queue.

I've viewed 1381 titles and ignored 1381 titles, I was once recommended FIFA or EA Sports FC because it was similar to other games that I had played, Space Engineers and 7 Days to Die.
Their reasoning, they all have multiplayer.

Todays discovery queue was all games that are popular or on sale, nothing similar to what I own or play.

I have never bought a single game that Steam has recommended to me in the discovery queue and I don't think I ever will.
