Steam curation might be shit. But using the search tools, I have gotten people talking in the G&T steam thread about weird things they did not know about.
it's easy to find games if you know what you're looking for, but so much shit is on steam that if you're a small developer with little to no marketing budget it's really hard to even get the title of your game out there, let alone convince people to check the game out

ahh
how would you combat that? It seems like you'd have to basically sell direct which would have its own problems
Lots of self promotion, one of the few good uses for social media
yeah, but you'd have to know about it beforehand to follow it
alternately, game devs can self promote right now along with selling on steam or epic store or GoG or wherever
Tons of titles are added to steam every day, and a significant portion of them are asset flips, "games" where someone downloaded and installed a hodgepodge of unity assets to cobble together something that technically runs and looks like a video game at first blush but is completely devoid of content. You can crank em out fast with 0 overhead so even if you only sell one copy it's a profit
It's very hard to distinguish legitimate indie games with no marketing budget from that kind of shit, or say, years-long passion projects from a game dev student uploading their homework for shits and giggles
Epic is "better" here just in the sense that it's more exclusive, but of course that's equally unhelpful to the tier of game we're talking about here

The 500 deep game library or the fact that we ensured that the pink menace has 2/3rds the porn games on steam?
the childish console-wars-esque platform tribalism, probably
