Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/UserScript for that! It's called the RaChartβ„’ Enhancer!

This script enhances the charts by showing you which games you already own from the ones in it. If you own it, the row will be highlighted with a green color.

Go to the store page of any of the games tagged with that icon. On the right side where you have the game characteristics (Single-player, Achievements, Steam Cloud etc) you will see a new item: Steam is learning about this game. There's a question mark next to it which explains what it means.

Hmmm, the price seems a bit steep for the games being offered. Am I missing something?

IndieGala by default calculates that most everyone will use the happy hour, meaning buying 5 packs of the bundle will cost about 1.50Β USD/pack at worst. This is why seemingly their base price is a lot higher than everyone else.

I understand that. But comparing the contents of this bundle to some of their other recent bundles (some of which were offered for less) and I'm just not sure that I'm getting the best value with this latest offering.

I've been wondering if the recent surge of "Steam is learning about this game" is a bit like a retcon-return of the greenlight feature. I mean I approve of returning quality control but... tinfoil hat

yeah and they make tons of problems on steamgifts too, I definitely approve the quality control (until 1 month ago every day you had 3-4 5000 achievements shovelwares).. but I don't know how to think about this abundance of "learning".. 2 over 3 new games basically are under "steam investigation" xD

It's more of Steam revealing on the front-end a gating process they were already using on the back-end.

Lots of games weren't allowed to drop cards because they haven't met the threshold yet. This just puts the information right on the store page.

yeah, still those hundreds of games will never have trading cards even if they still have the trading card tag, I review games on a daily basis and some of them are from 2, 3, 4 years ago and they have a total of less than 10 reviews xD
it's nice all in all since as you said, Valve sort of "reveals" a process that they were applying in some ways on the back end :)

word, I have at least 2 games I woulda skipped if not for cards, but they never got those and were just prematurely tagged. now I'm paranoid enough to check if the items exist in the market first XD

Did you discover your interest by looking at the relatively decent picture on Steam which displays and introduces the game? If so, watch the trailer. You might find that all of a sudden you have lost any interest in this title there's ever been.

It's the latest reason to hate Mondays. The only thing it motivates me to do is vomit.

I've seen some interesting Monday Motivation bundles. This isn't one of them.

The only game of the bunch that looks even marginally interesting is Vintage Hero.

It looks like a crummy ripoff of classic Mega Man. Honestly, I think it would be more worthwhile just downloading an emulator and getting the Mega Man games for NES and SNES.

Hello guys, is there any chance to hide the "βš– - Steam is learning about this game" games? Somethimes i see giveaways for this kind of games and hide them instantly. I search a way how to add these games to the 'blacklist' because i own these games and can still enter these giveaways.

Since these games don't give a +1 to your library, they seem to be excluded from the result of the API request for reading your owned games (they're considered just like banned games), meaning that SteamGifts can't know if you already own these games or not.
I would assume that userscripts that load your https://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/ (which is accessible to you only and contains the app ids of everything you own) would work, but I don't know if anyone already implemented that by now.

Which userscript can load this huge list? Will this script add this list to my blacklist (for example this removed games) or how will this script work?

Maybe you've a link for me i can read for more information.

Thanks for your fast reply :)

I don't think there's any script that's specifically designed to address the issue right now.

What I have been doing is using the Steam Web Integration script, it shows a βœ” besides any game I already own. So whenever one of these pop up I update my games on SG, and if it's still there after that then I hide it.

I managed to get my hands on a copy of Vintage Hero and I rather like it. If you like Megaman clones it's a pretty good one, although it's a bit too short.
