A bit worried about this...

Closed

I'm seeing lots of devs giving away free keys of their game in exchange for a "yes" vote on steam greelight, i am worried about it because some games seem like they're not that good.

Don't get me wrong but i don't wanna see steam crowded with mediocre games.

+1, they're asking for VOTE.I downvote more than %90 of those games ...

Just vote what you'd ACTUALLY BUY, that's what this system is about.

Many of those games are not good and I'm also sure that many developers will cheat and will not send the keys.

Most people don't care as long as it's free and there are entire trash groups dedicated to upvoting that garbage. Hopefully it all ends when Greenlight gets shut down.

Whoa! I'm not for garbage games either, but there's some quality stuff that ends up on Steam because of Greenlight. The last thing I'd wanna see is it getting shut down. It's not like the bad stuff can't be ignored. I wouldn't mind some sort of quality control or filter system to keep the really poor or absolutely incomplete stuff out, though.

I do like Greenlight games and have helped some great ones come on Steam. But Valve sees the problems and limitations with it and plan on doing something else instead. We'll see what that is when HL3 comes out. ^^

I see this all the time, Steam being "crowded". You know it's a virtual marketplace right? There is unlimited room for as many games as they want.

Do people complain that crappy pop music is "crowding" iTunes? Do you complain that shitty movies are "crowding" Netflix? Just search and buy what you want. Good games will get word of mouth and will succeed on their own merits and the crap will sink to the bottom.

Its funny that devs struggle to get games on Greenlight.

Just don't finish making it and sell Early Access.
