Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

I feel like there's unclarity in the way this feature is currently presented. It says that when you "Follow" the game, it allows you to, "see announcements in your community activity feed." What exactly does that mean? If you go to the Community Hub (of a game) and then to News (sub-Tab) it also allows you to Follow the game. Here (in the Hint-description), it says, "Follow [game title] to get official announcements in Your Friend Activity feed," In my understanding, this Follow is the same as the Follow on the Store Page, but the description here is much clearer to what it does, that is, in my understanding. I think it's too confusing to use the term, "your community activity feed," as there's also a Community section that people (especially those that are new) may think this refers to.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

The issue can be reproduced by viewing the Hint-description of the Follow button of a game on the Store Page.
