USER REVIEW UPDATES
May, 2016
We’ve been iterating a bunch on User Reviews since we first released them. The most recent update posted a snapshot of what reviews look like for the most recent 30 days, providing an idea of what the current state of a game might be. This update also added a new list of the most recent reviews so that the newest customer opinions can be easily found.

LOCAL TOP-SELLERS
March, 2016
Steam has always had a list showing the global top-selling games. But over time we found that tastes in some countries were really different from the global top-sellers.

As a result, customers in some countries now see a local top-sellers list by default.

EXPANDED LOCALIZATION SUPPORT
March, 2016
A series of updates added more ways to see and filter content around your language preferences. This includes:
  • Letting customers that speak more than one language be able to specify in which language(s) they wish to view content.
  • Adding support for game developers to post announcements in multiple languages.
  • Filtering User Reviews based on customers’ preferred languages.

Edit Language Preferences

WISHLIST NOTIFICATIONS
March, 2016
By default, we now send you an e-mail when one or more of the items on your Steam wishlist goes on sale or has been released.

We’ll also notify you on your phone if you have the Steam mobile app installed and notifications turned on.

We all have Up and Downs about Steam. Some says it gives promo/sale or discounts and some says it's trash or something.
But for me Steam is one of the best Game Store (4/5) I ever bought games.

I don't really see what's changed? But then I try to avoid using Steam if I can so that'll probably be why! Never really been able to get into buying things on there, it always seems to be doing updates and takes ages to load things when I want to play them! :P
