Comment on Does anyone else feel like game recommendation engines are completely useless if you play older games?

Hi, this is good feedback. I have a similar problem with algorithms like those on YouTube or Netflix because:

  1. I don’t know what the algorithm thinks I like.
  2. I don’t know how to influence it beyond liking or disliking things.

The same applies to Steam recommendations. I’ve noticed it tries to recommend games based on my wishlist, but the issue is that adding a game to my wishlist doesn’t necessarily mean I like it or want to play it, or want similar recommendations.

Would you be satisfied with a game recommendation algorithm if you could see what it thinks you like (e.g., your top 5 preferred genres or dislikes) and be able to fine-tune it to produce more personalized recommendations? For example, you could tell the algorithm that you like sci-fi and that it should prioritize sci-fi games.
