"Drop a comment and get a free steam key"

I like that he started off by typing the blog post "Why Steam Greenlight is a remarkably good failure" and then taking it one step further and proving why it's such shit. Give credit where credit is due.

Thanks for bring this to light I'll report it as follows to prevent Greenlit from dieing from crap.

Awesome.I was waiting for this long enough. Now, all i miss from making the most out of my PC is a program that will allow me to maximize the window to full screen, minimize and close.

A thread like this really shows how many shitty lurkers the SG forums have.

People who just scan topic titles to enter private giveaways and only ever comment if they think it means they get something free. The majority of them don't read a single word in the OP.

And people wonder why so many gifters retreat into private groups...

What ?

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just like to say I like their subscription idea. That'd be a pretty awesome idea and likely be more helpful for many of those games because they're actually getting played.

Where's my comment? Oh yeah, I must have dropped it here:

The guy does have a point though, and he is right in that regard. Communication is the key to being greenlit as opposed to what you actually deliver.

You can have the best piece of software there is, but if you cannot 'sell' it to people well by providing things that will attract attention... Well, no one is going to upvote you. Nothing new so far on the horizon. In fact, isn't that exactly what the term marketing stands for?

So I guess he just learned that you will have to promote you stuff. Good for him.

Who cares? Greenlight isn't perfect, but it is kinda ridiculous to hate someone for taking advantage of it. There is so many games on Steam that shouldn't even deserve to be on there that are not even greenlighted, so why stop the little guys from getting a game on Steam? It really hurts nobody and, if anything, helps get people onto the damn site to begin with to hopefully green light other games. I see why this is wrong in your eyes, but you have to understand that this is business and a lot of people are learning on their feet how to do it. I think all that really matters is they hopefully become successful so they can someday make good quality games instead of just not existing at all. Besides, who is going to BUY their game if it is shit? It is a huge and brave gamble to offer free keys like that, assuming the word given was kept.

Great idea it helps the steam community

i hope your game gets greenlight soon. :D

Hay, Free sh*t.

Thanks man!

Good Luck!

Everything is exploitable and besides - Greenlight isn't the only way to break through. Sure, it might be a hypocritical way to do shit, but you do what you have to do. In the end, every truly shitty game will die anyway. Why? Because people won't play bad games.

I'll just stamp this with a "survival of the fittest" sticker. There are bad games that get greenlit and good games that don't. It might not be fair, but that's life. Not to mention some good games don't make it out due to a bad marketing campaign. Or they're not just lucky enough.

Also, God, those whimpering free-stuff hungry children are annoying.

I'm late as always, anyway, you can't never have enough steam keys, so let the keys rain!

thanks for skyrim

Wow

So what's the OP's problem? A program he doesn't care for and will never be required to use is being published on Steam. Big deal. Skip it and move on.

I'd care more about useless games than software. Software has low market share on Steam after all.

Omg.. Hey!
