Gaming Hub app has been ruined and now forced to put all gaming apps into a folder

[WaldoWood]

I've used the gaming hub app since it's inception now I'm forced to put all my gaming apps into a folder so I don't have to scroll through to find my own

Oh, wow, the hardship of putting apps into a folder.  The gaming hub still exists.  Go to settings/advanced features/gaming hub and turn it on.  If you had it on before, the update may have turned it off as sometimes happens with updates.

I think you are missing their point. It's a complaint about how the last patch made the app significantly worse for the second time in a row. 

Samsung obviously licking their fingers at the thought of users doing in app transactions and watching ads via games served to them by the hub. So much so that they would make the app more inconvenient with each major version, even at the cost of less users actually using the app.

Don't know. I don't use the hub. I have all my apps sorted in folders, so I don't know why the hub is even necessary.

I like the hub... its all in one place... I can arrange it any way I want it . Till the new upgrade landed... I dont even like the look of it. Gees there going to lose a lot if users... becuse I for one will not use it thid way. Sorry.

I can't fathom how you would know exactly how many people use the gaming hub that you figure they will lose a lot of users.  I don't believe there's any revenue in it for them, it's just a convenience app to put all games on one launch pad for those who may not categorize their apps into folders.  If you are getting fed games you did not personally download, that would be done by your carrier if you have a carrier branded phone.  Samsung does not automatically download games to your device.  It's a little known feature that most people would not go looking for unless they already know about it.  I found it once, turned it on, found it the most annoying piece of software ever and then turned it off.  I know how and where to find my games.

I agree I don't like the new set up at all...

Exactly. Just give us an option to always sort by recently played. That was automatic before, now you have to go to your games, click sort, click recently played. Guess clicks equal revenue.

I'm curious on how you feel "clicks equal revenue" when it comes to sort order.  There is no revenue at all for Samsung in the gaming hub.  Even if there was, it would be clicks for entering or downloading a game, not in how you sort it. I would imagine one knows the last game they played and should easily be able find it - sort or no sort.  Although, I do agree that if you set a sort order, it should stick until you change it.
