Don't Vote "YES" for Free Keys on Greenlight Without Looking at the Game!

I usually look at the screenshots first before clicking yes.

I look and read everything before I vote and if it looks decent enough I vote yes. No amount of mere freebies is going to convince me to vote yes for a crappy game.

Greenlight isn't a bad idea, it just needs better oversight.

I just want more games in my collection, I don't really care if they're good or not.

I always watch the trailer first, and if I don't like what I saw I just leave without voting(or reserving the game). I have only voted down games that looked awful, and that only happened 3 or 4 times.
I generally don't mind if mediocre games get into steam, after all it is not like I'm forced to buy them.

as much as I may sound unpopular, this is honestly just another one of those oh yea, dont vote on games I dont think are good

Look, sure, dont vote on crappy games. But what if some people genuinely like the concept or upvote those for the lolz?

I still have the feeling that people missed the whole point of gl: letting people self deciding which project they consider worthy to be on steam. Getting into the same old "buying votes with keys" is not really something that would turn things anywhere

Also may I kindly remind everyone that contrary to popular belief, many crappy gl game got through purely because of the hype and not because of "bribery"

What if I like crappy games?

I just vote YES if im really interested in the game and if its really worth to play, not because of cards or smth.

Voted

Valve doesn't care about their store quality (anymore?), otherwise they would have changed that system ages ago. So neither do I care if they get on, since I shouldn't have to do their exploit control.

Hey, if collectors want to have more games to collect, who are you to tell them they shouldn't.

Me, I usually vote yes for games I already own.

The reason why the haven't changed it already is because thinking of a suitable replacement isn't as easy as people think.

That and people are against bad games making it to steam due to the bad rep they give to to the indie game industry.

'Do we really need another "Day One: Garry's Incident" or "Guise of the Wolf" on steam?'

Who cares? Vote --> get free key --> if game is bad leave bad review.
If all comments below game in steam are red - people will avoid it and it will die slowly anyway :)
(i hope that the last sentence wasn't too "engrish")

There was only one game I voted yes for free key and it was Motte Island, because I'm interested in it. Still haven't played it though. :x

voted thanks, looks awesome, 11/10 would play

Steam itself needs quality control. From Watch Dogs to crappy no-one-heard-of greenlight publishers. Look at current steamstore library. Most of games are 2012 or later. And most of the crap is published on steam at 2012 or later. At the same time there are lots of underdogs not getting deserved attention just because they're not present on largest digital distribution channel.

Wile Crap games filling up a search or a list of new games will annoy me, I don't have to spend my money on them. I will nearly always vote no on a game that is not for my platform, because I will never be able to play it.

Free games = free cards = free money in my Steam Wallet. Why would I have a problem with it?

Valve should just remove greenlight and allow anyone to sell their games via in-page widget, like the one humble bundle used when I pre-ordered Grimlock from the developers website. They should make sure there is a game and a developer behind it, to avoid scams, and allow for credits return if the game can not be started for any reason... everything else - read/view the reviews before purchasing.

Considering the number of free games I got from such promotions, I have nothing against it. Of course, if the game looks like absolute crap I will still downvote it.

Dont tell me what to do.

Gurumin, which was also a "Vote Yes Game" has just been greenlit and I can't wait to play it ^^

It's our business to vote or not, I don't need a person who'll tell me what to do and what not to do

IMHO if a dev puts their game on Greenlight and want to go the "vote, get free key" route, they should need to get permission from Steam staff (or whoever is responsible for the whole Greenlight thingy).

That is, of course, easier said than done.

Me, I always check the game and if I like it, I vote YES. If not, I vote "No, thanks".
Should be a common sense, but people tend to go crazy if they sense the opportunity to get something for free...
