Wait, does Steam not already do this kind of thing? I absolutely see different games marketed towards me based on what I've been playing more of lately, and have for years.

    I noticed it too. I have all the shooters I need, so I would rather be suggested other genres I might enjoy. Over the last 5 years, it felt like what I played when I was younger is what Steam wants me to play today...

    Astrox Imperium = Eve Offline (it's literally a single player EvE Online clone)

    Schedule 1 (Drug dealer shop sim)

    Roadside Research (Gas Station run by inquisitive aliens sim)

    Vintage Story (Minecraft for adults, the chisel will change your life.) (Not Available On Steam)

    Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic (possibly the most in depth city builder on the market)

    I can suggest a ton more, but I'm trying to stay on the Indy dev side of things.

    I can sincerely vouch for Vintage Story. It's a bit confusing at first, but it's a very comfortable learning curve. And once you got the hang of it it's a very chill experience. Also, thanks to the integrated mod database you can install mods in the console!

    Also, while Schedule 1 is very unique in its gameplay, I still feel it needs quite a bit of development time before I would recommend it myself. Moving product around your locations and the easy to cheese Police are some of the biggest community gripes at the moment.
