Steam wishlists are getting categories, making it even easier to organise all those games you'll definitely buy next sale

If there's anything I know about Steam users, it's that they bloody love that wishlist system. Hundreds, if not thousands of games, all plonked in a single list that we can pretend we'll go through eventually to pick out some corkers we know we'll love, even though we know we'll just play the same thing we always do because the exhaustion of daily life limits what we can take in?
