I wish OpenCL could get some attention. While AMD is in my view the superior graphic card since you need _zero_ tinkering for playing AAA games with mesa, it's a bit sad that you cannot use your card for Eevee nor Cycle in Blender, since the opencl implementation is not really functional.

Having a Vega64, and using only the CPU to render any scene... :(

Ok, I see the waste of space. But what would you do with the 47 downloaded games? Are you looking through them for update notes? I guess it's not like you touched all of them in the last weeks and care too much? I'd "effacer tout" and all data I'm actually interested in fits fine on the screen.
Sometimes Steam downloads 60+ updates the same day.
I indeed want to see the update notes, since the "News" banner in the library is very, very limited (and algorithmically curated, which is wrong imho).

Displaying the downloads with the same tiled view than in the library would be better in my opinion.

Quoting: EikeI never had more than half a dozen games to download, and if I would, I wouldn't care to watch them downloading..
Well, when you have lots of disk space, a 4k screen and lots of games, you can pretty easily get that kind of page :


What a waste :(

The wasted space indeed.
This looks horrible.

Valve could just display the small informations (downloaded, total download size, ETA) below each thumbnails alongside controls like (download / pause, cancel).
That way you could stuff as many game thumbnails close to each other like in the library page.

Those thumbnails could be sorted as above ; active, queued, scheduled, completed.

This looks a lot like shapez.io.
Combining the two could be fun :)
