Steam’s community is huge, and it’s also one of the most supportive, active, friendly, and fun. Their value is very great and they demonstrate it daily help they offer to other users platform and with comments and ratings of the games they enjoy.

Steam users too They have a great sense of humorwhich both other members and Valve themselves like, but the company has decided to take measures in this regard to prioritize valuable content that actually provides something useful over what can only be considered a joke in the end.

I’m sure those of you who use Steam already know where I’m going. Looking at the main page of the game, it is common for ranks to appear in the top comments funny comments or simply memes which don’t really provide any real useful information about the game.

These comments are so high because They usually get upvotes by the community. It is logical, they are fun and popular, but Valve decided to prioritize the usefulness of comments, and therefore Steam will start to display the most useful comments by default when we enter the page of any game available on the said platform.

Don’t worry, this isn’t the end of jokes and memes on Steam

Valve was the first to recognize this no problem with memes and jokes rather than ASCII designs, he actually literally said it’s fun for those who already have the game. But at the same time, he also said that these comments are of no value to potential buyers because they don’t actually help them make a decision.

From now on, those comments that are considered useless to potential buyers of the game will appear at the bottom of the page and will appear less oftenand priority will be given to content that is categorized as useful. Identification of this type of comment is done through a combination of manual moderation and self-assessment by other users and artificial intelligence.

Valve emphasized that this will not affect the games scoring system and that we can change the default configuration anytime so that the funniest comments appear first. This change is very simple, just type “View” and check the “Entertainment” option. This will filter the content by sorting it by those that have received the most upvotes for being funny.

Valve’s goal with this change is nothing more than to continue improving Steam, a platform that has recently strengthened its commitment to demos and received other important changes. It also stands to reason that the company wants to place some kind of order because according to its data, it currently has about 140 million user analyses on your store’s website.
