is "Steam is learning about this game" -kinda- gone?

If you hover over the question mark behind it, it still shows the old text. So it seems to be rephrasing/shortening.

Seems like some of them have cards enabled now, so maybe it did changed.

Seems all the same bar trading cards. But those were the very first exploits they made this stuff for in the first place! So I expect just an oversight in text, not a feature change.

I've noticed "RaChart Enhancer" extension now can see those games and mark them accordingly in tables.

Maybe it is because of this change or perhaps RaChart has been updated?

Well, if the rewording is accurate that means Valve decided to let the trading card farming back in.
As well as part of the achievement spam, if they removed the limit on the number of achievements again.

Maybe it's their new strategy to make more money for no effort off of their store ?

According to the Steamworks SDK it's still business as usual. I can't post stuff from the Steamworks official group, but there's a post stating this terminology is due to the profile feature change that happened June 2018.

It's still definitely jacking things up in Steamgifts, so that's business as usual. :D

If there's one thing that I wish would change information-wise sooner than later, it's to stop basing the feedback count and ratios only on licenses of the game bought through the Steam store. You see crap games go positive because the author uses their fake accounts and buys a couple copies of their own game on the Steam store and leaves positive feedback while there are 50 negative feedbacks that all came from bundles, so it's inaccurate. You see games marked as negative because the three people who bought it on the store hated it, but there may be a ton of people who got the thing in a bundle who liked it. The inaccuracy makes me crazy. Feedback is feedback is feedback. I don't much care about the source of the license key. People can create fake reviews from any perspective...source of the key doesn't make any difference.

Profile Features Limited >>> Steam is still learning about this downloadable content / game
Good way to shorten it, imo.

Interesting topic. BUMPED!

I contacted Steam support and aswer is:
"We've recently changed the message that appears on store pages but it doesn't mean there was any change in your app's status. Just so you're clear, your game is still able to reach this confidence metric. We don't publicly share the eligibility requirements for unlocking these features, but generally, the confidence metric is based around having a significant amount of real customers buying or playing the game."

"Profile limited" is there since ages.

Based on my experience it starts with "steam is learning about" and after a few months if the game did not have enough purchase+traffic it changes to profile limited. The effect of these TAGs are actually the same.

I am not 100% sure but while the game is steam is learning about then the system checking the game if it meets the requirements for passing that stage daily 4* while on profile limited status the system now checking about it just occasionally.

A game which not released yet has steam is learning about:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1103310/Sea_Bubble/

A game was released about ~1month ago still steam is learning about:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1139140/Kimono_Girls/

A game was released 2months + a few days ago now profile limited game:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1117900/Fantasy_Maid/

So I believe it changes after 2 months of the release datum.

Not all game start with steam is learning about status anymore, if a studio/publisher had enormous revenues through steam with previous titles then their new games start without it. Because of this even some niche or smaller publisher can avoid that TAG with their new games.

EDIT: and now i realized the topic was more about the tooltip which visible while moving the cursor to the question mark icon.
