Bad games are bad or...? [GAs of course]

I would just have different sections in the Indie department and keep Greenlight or something similar open for beginning developers/unpolished games. Maybe have a group of moderators that verify each game and move it into separate indie tiers. Higher end and very polished in one section, mid quality games that function properly in another and then low end indie titles that need some work in another category. Or something similar, I don't want to go too into details. One of the biggest reasons I came to Steam in the first place was their indie games variety, but done with the perks such as achievements/cards/emoticons and the prestige of being on Steam. I could easily just have stuck with Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, but they don't offer the variety of indie games that Steam does nor the up close and personal feel of being in touch with developers.

I am still hoping that there will be a game that comes fro trash, with the capabilty to revolutionate the industry... So i am for keeping trash games.

actually, there are some people who play those games.
and not all indie is garbage. you need to have such an open place for people to even try.
best example is StardewValley.

It's difficult. I do enjoy that you can find all sorts of games on Steam, but naturally this invites actual trash games that just exist so that the developer can drop thousands of keys somewhere and earn money from the card sales.
I think it would be good if Steam doesn't just allow every single game to have cards, emoticons and backgrounds. The standard should be set there. I'm not familiar with Steam statistic, especially for lower games, but maybe those things should only unlock for the developer/team once the game reaches like 1,000 Steam store purchases (and for free games maybe 10,000 downloads?).
Like, what's the point of having trading cards if there's no community to enjoy them? Remove the ability to make easy money off of absolute trash games and those games will slowly disappear.

Bump.

Greenlight should be more strictly moderated by the Valve but seeing some of the recent steps taken by Valve there is still hope...

My biggest problem with all that trash that gets released is thats its hard for me to filter out the games that are really good.
I scroll the newly released and upcoming lists almost weekly and add what I like to my wishlist. But doing that takes so much time because the majority of it all is crap deluxe.

I'm looking forward to the end of Greenlight. What started as a great initiative turned into a lukewarm pile of turds.

And fml I'm addicted to buying bundles, so I'm part of the problem.
