I'm on the fence about it. On the one hand recommendations are fine, on the other I really prefer making my own decisions.

This is why I oppose segregating games beyond re-releases.(old games new to Steam) I'm "afraid" of missing a gem that might otherwise be considered crap. I prefer my own judgement first.

Other problems I have are not being able to jump to the forums from the store page. I like seeing what is being discussed overall. If everyone is asking "how do you do this and that?" it is good sign to me. But its one of many things I look at before buying.

i dont plan on using the curators at all, but the fact that steam will recommend games based on my previous purchases.. thats cool

I'm sorry you must be confused because you can still make your own decision on steam. They are just making additional suggestions on games you might've missed( what you claim to be afraid of) based on what your past purchase history and wishlist. Do you feel this way when you see commercials on tv or when you are on the internet and the ads make suggestions to you based on your cookie history????

I am aware of that, but I'm still sort of adapting to the system.

My "fear" was a general one, based on the idea that I don't know what I will like so don't base it what I like now, sort of thing. I wasn't targeting anything specific.

Its such a minor thing really. I am very happy about these changes and I agree with you.

So far my recommendations have been way off or a game I already own. Its far from perfect, but I rarely go farther than seeing whats New or whats on Sale.
Personally I like how they segregate old and new games. That way I can zoom right to the new stuff to see if anything looks good. I say give this one time. They just introduced Tagging a little over a month ago, so Steam is still looking to improve.
