My primary complaint with Steam is the quality of the games.

I've had a Steam account now for... let's see here... 19 years:

Being primarily a console gamer, I rarely used it until I bought a Steam Deck. Then I went looking for Steam exclusive games I couldn't otherwise play on my Xbox Series X, PS5, Nintendo Switch...

What I found was a lot of garbage porn games, and a lot of garbage anime games, and a lot of garbage anime porn games.

It's super difficult finding something worth while to play. So it's not a surprise to me to see that the #1 game is eight years old:

Dang that sucks. Sorry you couldn't find a porn game you liked.

You know the marketing brainwashing works, when people go look for exclusive games :D

Super easy, Steam has PC games that I can't play because I don't have a PC. Hence the Steam Deck. ;)

You were surprised that indie-darling, continuously updated, save-synced, casual game Stardew Valley is the #1 game on the Steam Deck? To begin with, that doesn't speak for popularity on Steam overall, and do I really need to go on?...

You can block all the porn games, I can't remember the last time I saw one. Add games you're interested in to your wishlist and you will see more games like that when you open Steam.
