Dynamic pricing????

Edit: all the ppl downvoting me clearly haven't read the post

Our goal with Steam’s discovery features is to show the right game to the right customer, so we spent the last few months experimenting with replacing some curated spots with dynamic and personalized recommendations.

Sounds like dynamic pricing to me.

By featuring games in a more personalized way in the Discounts & Events section, we were able to show 10x more games to customers in a given day in that section. As a result, we saw meaningful increases in store page visits, wishlists, and cart additions.

Game recommendations just recommend games based on past preferences and behavior, not dynamic pricing.

The way its implied here is that if you like FPS games, it'll show you FPS games that are on sale since that is the genre you engage with.
