I don’t know if Steam will let you schedule a download in that manner, I think the “scheduled” category is for updates to games that Steam has set it’s own schedule to start the download on.
One thought, you could have the game in question set as the active download in “up next” so it’ll start to download it when Steam launches, then close out of Steam entirely. Then use Task Scheduler to create a scheduled task (assuming you’re using Windows)to open the Steam app at the scheduled time you’d like the download to start.
I’m assuming since this would be going overnight, you can just close out of Steam/pause the download manually in the morning, but if you needed to have it stop at a set time before you wake up, can just create another scheduled task to kill the Steam app to close it out and stop the download.
TBH tho I usually just use recent activity, but having genres, mechanics, and “vibes” helps me find the game I’m in the mood to install and play. Some of the catagories are essentially useless tho as most people who tag games have no clue what certain genre’s actually are, so I have to curate some of these I care about, I have too many games to do it without steam tags though.
Sweeney really comes off as an angry guy who sees only enemies. Apple (justified, even though I’m an Apple nerd), Valve… let’s find some more persecution-complex targets. Can we be mad at Steam? Let’s go!
Epic offers jack shit in terms of features, has admitted to be losing money from the 12% cut, has a shitty storefront and is beholden to Tencent, the shittiest gaming company known to the world. Also, Steam is free advertisement, whereas the EGS is antiadvertisement.
