    You can’t filter using more than one tag as an “and” filter, only “or”. That’s pretty basic for a filter feature, isn’t it? It’s just surprising given how well implemented other Steam features had been in my experience.

      He wasnt talking about search it was about algorithmic recommendation.

      But you can filter by multiple tags. When you click search select the advanced search at the bottom of the dropdown. It does all the things you mention and far more

        Mr biggest problem with tags is that it’s user curated and you can recommend an unlimited number of them.

        Just because a game has a few funny moments, doesn’t mean it gets the comedy tag. Just because it has a brief driving sequence doesn’t mean it gets the racing tag. Just because there’s some reading involved doesn’t mean you get the visual novel tag.

        It’s getting to the point I feel like there’s a conspiracy where there’s teams of people intentionally sabotaging the tag system and teams trying to counter it, all so they can control views and sales. It’s really noticeable when a publisher stops marketing and moves to another release.

          I don’t think you can create new tags can you ? At least I have not seen a place to do that.

          But I do also think that there could be more specific tags.
          And yeah, being able to AND / OR would be hella good.

          However, I would not describe it as a dumpster fire, it’s pretty good all things considered.
