This is absolutely useful for developers and the health of the gaming ecosystem.
In past years, gacha/P2W games have had too many pages and too much traffic, exposing their trash to lure new gamers in the Steam store.
Traditional/buyout games have had unfair exposure conditions. Years ago, I sensed this problem, but I found good games through other channels, so I wasn’t impacted by this condition. However, the competition between buyout games and gacha/P2W games in the Steam Store is absolutely unfair.
So, I am very glad to see Valve changing this condition.
I hope I can see a lot of high-quality demos of buyout games occupying the Steam store page, getting the most exposure instead of gacha/P2W trash.
It’s cool, but I really love my Steam Deck!
You need to realize the reality: we live in a cyberpunk world now.
It’s a good thing, even though I don’t think games on Android are great.

Oh, I suddenly realized that maybe the Steam store will support and distribute Android games in a few years.
That’s something only Valve can definitely do successfully.
I just bought the Steam Deck 3 days ago. And I like modding ES5 and Cyberpunk 2077. So I will!
Switching to Linux is better.
Just for kids? It needs to be totally banned for everyone!
I started the game Playing Kafka. It is a small and free game on iOS and Steam, but it’s really good.
I am playing Max Payne on my iPad too. It creates a retro vibe.
I am playing Monster Hunter: Rise too, When I have nothing to do, I take out my Switch Lite and defeat the monsters.
I hope MS can fulfill its promise and not abandon it like they did with Surface RT, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, Lumia, Kinect, Xbox, MSN Messenger, Cortana, Tango Studio, “Windows 10 is MS’s last OS”, etc.
