suggestion: filtering own games from list

Closed
whysosad

I wonder if SG devs could made filtering out games that player already own. For most cases there is even no point to see them.

One way to do it:

  1. Add games_[playerid].js, that contain ids of all games that player own. So each player have its own, and it could be cached by browser.

  2. Add to giveaway list id of the game somewhere near to name. E.g. http://pastebin.com/H4p4GKpf

  3. Add script that hide all divs that have id from player game list script.

This thread again. On the other hand, this is really useful functionality and it is no wonder threads like that pop up. Stuff like that ideally should be part of the site, imho. I understand though that outsourcing this stuff saves cg some work, including having to update that functionality for changes on the site, and script creators get some e-peen, too.

One suggestion:
An game-id can be listed multiple times in a page, so the game-id would be in class="" and not in id=""

As noted, there is an add-on that will do this, and I use it. But this does seem like something that should be in the system by default. It already knows the games you own and won't let you enter for them, so why not remove them from the list you see? shrug

reason 1: so you can report bundle key giveaways, which you otherwise would not see :3

reason 2: so you are reminded that you already have it. (e.g. /me sees game X and thinks "Cool, game sounds like fun, I'll enter the giveway". /me sees Button "Already exists in your account". /me: "cool, did not know" /me happily installs game X )
