Each can either be wishlisted, followed, or ignored. Valve then uses this data to help understand which games to surface for you going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Complications arise when you come along a beloved game in your discovery queue which you\u2019ve already played on a console. There\u2019s no point wishlisting it for most people as you\u2019ve already played it, and ignoring the game and removing it from your recommendations affects which future recommendations are given to you. Basically, if you tell Steam to ignore a game you played and loved already on PS4, you were telling Steam you don\u2019t like that game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>Under the new system, Ignore has been split into two options &#8211; \u2018Ignore This\u2019 and \u2018Played on Another Platform\u2019. \u2018Ignore This\u2019 hides the game from your storefront, ignores any notifications, and it won\u2019t use this game to generate other recommendations. \u2018Played on Another Platform\u2019 hides the game from your storefront yet it will still be used to generate further recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-expandable-img\" src=\"http:\/\/pic.obilesky.com\/game\/2914\/xl3mvbvck21.jpg\" title=\"Steam Console Games Feature\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a small but simple change that should prove really helpful to folks who split their gaming across multiple systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[301,625,627,521,626],"class_list":["post-2203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-adds","tag-feature","tag-platforms","tag-steam","tag-tag"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
