Hi,

There are some games I have played once or twice, just to see if I like them or not.
I have decided that I don't like them, but they still appear on my "Games you know" list.

Is there an option to remove them from this list?

click on the heart, make it bleed.

Hello

I think that he was talking about "removing from games I know" and not "removing from my favorites".

At now there is no possibility to do this. The thing is: we CAN do this technically, but we haven't found a way to integrate it with the design. To be more accurate: we certainly don't want to add any additional element visible by default to the lobby design, because it would make the interface more complex for all users while this feature is only for "power users".

Thabks for the honest answer

What about adding it to "preferences"/"see my profile" sections?

I would find something like this useful too, as a ‘power user’ with over 100 different games (prob 40 of which i don’t plan to play again) it would be nice to have something in preferences like a list of all played games and you can mark the ones you don’t want to see in the lobby.

I also would use unknow option. Tried some games and now have them proudly under the games I know , also see forum posts about them.

One word of caution: Unlearning a game should not reset statistics on it. IE, can't have someone win a game, get the bonus for winning the first time, and then unlearn it and be eligible for the bonus again.

That being said, an option to unlearn would be nice. Since it is a power player move, why not make it available only for power players? Say, once someone has over 15 games currently listed as learned, they can unlearn down to that? New players won't see any lobby clutter, and long-time players won't see the updates and messages for games they have no interest in ever playing again.

I like Jest's idea for this approach...
...but in fact, I doubt "removing" games from games you know is really relevant.

Shouldn't we fix how the data is used, rather than trying to reforge actual facts ?

IMO, what is relevant is removing games you want to ignore from places where you don't want to see them.
The functionnality could easily be "hidden" somewhere in the profile or in a submenu, and games could have different statuses, like "Ignored", "Appreciated", "Favorite"

So, what are those places ?
• Game list ? Indeed, hiding games you want to ignore could help browsing games.
• Game history/stats ? IMO, removing them here is irrelevant. Maybe hiding them by default, to lighten the display, but keep a punctual "Display all" button
• Specific games forums => Just hide unwanted games the same way "not known" ones are
Any other place ? And why is this display an annoyance ?


Btw, I would love such functionnality.
