Stardock’s Derek Paxton gives reaction to the new Steam Discovery tools to Gamasutra.
"Stardock's Derek Paxton isn't completely sold on the new storefront, although he does appreciate that Valve is looking for new and effective ways to curate games on the platform.
He notes that the Top Seller tab isn't as useful as it was before the update. Galactic Civilizations III is currently on sale on Steam, and while 45 percent of pageviews are coming from the Specials tab, a mere 0.01 percent are coming from the Top Sellers tab, even though the game was at once point in each list.
