Why do Steam have such idiotic games? What happend to the greenlight?

Money makes cents.

greenlight is..... u know what i mean :)

welcome to casual gaming...
i mean console gaming...
i mean facebook gaming...
i mean crap gaming.

Greenlight logic: Vote to get us greenlighted and then get a free copy.

Since Valve tried to stop this: Vote us on Greenlight and we will giveaway insert numbers of votes copies from that group

"I thought that green light makes the idiotic games not pass...?"
no it´s more or less the opposite, in some cases.
if you pay, you got a greenlightpage....and some of them just do a contest, how many idiotvotes they get

Green light ruined steam.. I just like green light cause of the Half Life mods

I still waiting tree simulator pass greenlight.

Valve's intention is to open Steam to all games, but make it possible for you to find games you'd enjoy. As long as a game has an audience which enjoys it, it has a place on Steam.

Greenlight Game: "Oh hey do you want chlamydia?"
User: "No way!"
Greenlight Game: "But we'll give it free to you if you vote for us?"
User: "Oh well, if it's free?"

While it doesn't cost Valve nothing to put something from Greenlight on Steam, they'll be guarenteed to make money from it even if it's only pennies. Frankly though a fair majority of the blame of why the state of Greenlight is the way it is, rests heavily with the community. When you got spineless worms voting for crap because they think they'll get a free game out of it; is it any wonder that the term "Making a Steam Greenlight Game" is slang for "taking a shit" now?

chill,Half Life 3 will come from Greenlight.

Soon.

Those 2 are guides how greenlight/early accsess should be. And how devs should choose their buisness model.
It's just plain sad why more projects are rather spam than game itself.

People buy every .... if it has cards. Therefor, anything...Anything...can get on Steam, as long as it has cards included or promised in the future. So, this also mean, that every .... will sell and because of success, more can be made.
VALVe allowed this, but the ultimate problem is the community. Consumers are the problem for all the .... flying around, not just on Steam. Companies only make what people want and what sells, so if people are satisfied with ...., then companies are happy to make a truckload of it, since it is much easier to make, compared to something good.

Just one thing, steam game cards should have been locked behind achievements "certified" by valve/steam staff. Playtime means nothing and a lot of people is actually more interested in cards than on games themselves...
Sadly they decided not to implement that (to ease "certain" developers, probably) and now shtty games with no purpose whatsoever are bestsellers when on sale.
Just imagine having to actually "play" games to get cards, bye bye, greenlit cra and meaninglessness.

• Gabe Newell Simulator

• Kim Jong Un Simulator

• Bathroom Simulator

• Ultimate Toilet Paper Simulator

There are many more useless things on greenlight

Cause Volvo likes people Donating 100$ to show off a trailer of unfinished product and couple of screenshots .
Which Moreoften then not , dont even make it to steam at all anyway :)

And some games look good but you don't realize how crappy they are until you actually play them. Or a greenlight game has lots of cool pictures but when it's released it's in early access and only has a few levels, not all the ones in the screenshots.
