I don't even bother with my >Discovery queue anymore. Eh... I don't have a problem with that. The more the merrier, as far as I'm concerned. I'm viewed 7,534 games in the discovery queue so far, as I find it actually pretty interesting to see what games are being released on Steam even most of them are crap. Most games were crap even before Valve opened the doors wide open. About the only problem with it is that there are undoubtably gems that are going to be overlooked. Games that might not have AAA production values, but are still well made games that do something new and innovative to distinguish themselves. But while they may be lost in all the crap, it's still better than the old system were they would've never even made it on to Steam. Steam, with their discovery queue, is at least trying to do something to bring greater awareness to these games. It's even easier to get a gsme on Apple's App Store or Google Play, but it not something you'd notice because they really only try to show you their "top" games.
