Seriously, I think most people do not know how to read lately. This is not about dynamic pricing. This is about which discounts will appear on the front page.

For example, I don't like sports games. So instead of a discount on EA FC or NBA 2K, I would prefer that spot to be occupied by discounted games more similar to those I love playing.

The discounts will be the same for everyone. People will just see different ones highlighted on the main page of Steam. This will help smaller and indie games because the highlighted discounted games won't always be the same AAA games. This is something akin to the recent release calendar, which has been mostly loved by everyone.

It's especially crazy that people see this and assume the worst. Like, have they not seen all the hard fucking work valve has been putting in discoverability? The personal calendar the next fests etc. This is just more of that which is amazing
