Games getting bumped below the fold by software [1] is probably going to make some game devs upset. Hopefully Valve comes up with a solution for that.

I can see there being tension, though, because Valve wants to drive their traditional audience to software, but doing so may cannibalize impulse game buys that might have previously happened from a game being on the first page.

New releases are listed in chronological order. So a dump of of non-game software would, naturally, push games down the queue.


The Games tab is still ahead of the software tab, so that at least keeps Steam more games-focused than Xbox.
