Valve Finally Changes Steam Algorithm After Experimenting With 5% Users
The famous gaming platform, Steam is finally getting a change in its algorithm after Valve Corporation has rolled out a number of tweaks to breathe some personalization in the gaming process.
Only 5% of users have experimented with the changes. The alterations involve getting more personalized recommendations fixing some bugs like the ‘ similarity by tags’ as it was more affected than intended and some additional elements which would help to measure the popularity of the game.
During the small-scale experiment, the game developer noted that around 15% of the tested users were more prone to engage with the games that popped up in the recommendation section which consequently increases the unique traffic to a particular game by 75% and the doubt of unique visitors by 47%.
As Valve changes the steam algorithm, the personalized recommendation part shows a greater variety of games to the users. The experiment has turned out to be fruitful for both developers and the gamers.
With the successful roll-out, Valve has promised to conduct similar tests in the future to maintain the gaming standard. The news has thoroughly impressed the gamers around as the developer was always rumoured to be non-accessible to its users.
Apart from this, additional changes are queued up to the New Steam Library which will display the revised version of games that the players own and provide features that would enable the players to track and arrange their Library such that they keep coming back to the existing ones.
