As some of us know, Steam has been trying for the past few months to develop a more intelligent system that allows critics to help you find games that you would truly enjoy playing which will play a huge role on the way Steam store will recommend games to you according to the algorithm. By hearing the words of wisdom Steam curators had to share, Steam will act accordingly to appeal to every user it has.
Let’s start by our main cogwheel; the mechanism itself which is the system of curators. Steam Curator system it is going to feel more rewarding for those who use their time to make curations for Steam and how is that going to happen? Curators will have a wide variety of options to change their Steam profile page making it feel more like a place that Steam users would visit to see if a game is worth their time making it much easier to browse. Also, from this point on, curators will have the privilege to be closer to game developers and see more info about their curations and how many people like them in a more detailed in-depth graph.
Now we can move on to the ones, who create the content, game developers. Now through the curator system, developers can make use of curator’s audience. Game developers will have an easier way to communicate with curators, thus Steam started indirectly supporting partnerships between developers and curators. This cooperation creates more opportunities, which are going to increase the number of followers on both sides.
Now the last part that will have to get the most attention and work on is the page players are going to use. In the current system, you see a curator’s review only on curator’s profile, which is meaningless in terms of user’s reach. From this point on, according to what Curators create and the content quality, Steam will start displaying curators’ reviews on the right places for the targeted audience to be viewed. You will be also able to search through the top curators’ pages to see what is trending lately.
So as of late October Steam is planning on running a beta version of Steam Curator so if you want to be seen in the spotlight and being one of the people that contributed to this new system, now is the time!
