The list used to have some ten items on a screen for me, now it's barely five. I've got 67 items on the list at the moment. So at a glance, it yields way less information (I care for) than before.
I got an item at the top which I wanted to have at the bottom (as we're now supposed to whish list Windows items as well, I'm putting those at the bottom and told my wife she could gift me one of the upper ones (She will not do any filtering. Won't happen.)). This used to be easy, waiting some seconds with the item "in hand" and the list scrolled below. This stopped working, the list is not scrolling anymore when I reach the edge of the screen.
The whish list is broken.
*edit* I found something not too obvious: There's a rank number at the lower left of every item - and you can just change it! The manual moving of items is still broken, though. And "scroll down, look where it should end up, scroll up, enter the number" is not an optimal UI either...

Quoting: qptain NemoThere is no accounting for taste but I thought it looks alright. At least clear to read and informative. I'm always curious about users' grievances with particular UI decisions though.It's not about the looks (for me), but about information and functionality.

If so, could you share some enlightenment about the latest developments on Steam regarding the huge increase of Chinese users?
I'd really appreciate some input from China, more than Western guessing...

Quoting: GustyGhost- New studioEverbody needs to start some time...
Quoting: GustyGhost- No history of previous Linux workThey're new, but didn't release anything for Linux before? Wow.
Quoting: GustyGhost- Developement through Windows [External Link]In my humble opinion, Windows is a good platform for development.
Quoting: GustyGhost- Huge emphasis on dramatic trailers, visuals and art (ask me about "ARK syndrome"\)*shrug*
Quoting: GustyGhost- Equates platform "Windows" to "PC"*moreshrug*
Quoting: GustyGhostUnfortunately, boys, it looks like the chances of this releasing to Linux are extremely low.Well, "Linux and Mac compatibility is not out of the question" is not much of a promise, so they're probably not high, yes.

Quoting: Guestdungheap....intresting...I have a dungheap in my house...odd, when I go there I hear someone eating in there...maybe someone likes things I throw in there like meat, cabbage, carrots etc. Or dungheap itself is alive. Whatever the case is, I won't go there after sun has gone down!:DMaybe some special gases are coming out of it, too...?

Quoting: GustyGhostLast I heard THQ went out of business. THQ Nordic is some sort of spin off from them I take it?If I understand it right, Koch as well as Nordic Games bought some franchises from former THQ (America). Nordic Games also bought the THQ trademark and became THQ Nordic - and now buys Koch. So, it could be seen as sort of reunification?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI know nothing about the specifics. However, one thing that's certain is that the Koch brothers are assholes. So all else being equal, things relevant to us not being owned by them should be a good thing.Koch Media(1) is not owned or founded by any Koch brothers. I guess you're confusing this with Koch Industries(2)?
