Was Greenlight a failure?
>>322372780
It's shit, there's no quality control. I voted on greenlight for a game at PAX last year that I didn't play, didn't even give a shit about, because the dev gave me a small 3d printed goat as a bribe if I did.
>>322372780
Greenlight was responsible for the return of Bubsy the Bobcat. That alone is an unforgivable crime.
>>322373109
Valve doesn't want to devote any staff to quality control, though.
Gabe did say he wanted to replace Greenlight back in early 2014 but nothing has happened since then.
>>322373109
>The dev gave me a small 3d printed goat as a bribe if I did.
What?
>>322372780
It is a step towards the inevitability: youtube for games. Only things that are capable of garnering genuine interest will succeed.
>>322373109
>small 3d printed goat as a bribe
>>322373587
>>322373737
Game is called goatpunks. So the dev gave out goats to people that helped get him greenlit.
>>322373812
Oh, that makes sence
>>322373109
Reminds me of how Gurumin offered free keys to everyone who voted yes for it.
>>322373812
Are you Muslim by any chance?
>>322374056
No, but I have been told my beard is very Osama reminiscent.
>>322372780
>trivialising and appropriating the suffering of PoC
This is why gamers are dead.

Top kek.

>queer romance
If it wasn't for the game telling you that Alphys was a girl, or the sprite with her in a dress, I thought Alphys was a chubby, nerdy guy.That would've been way cuter desu.
Trying to find worthwhile games in the steam store is a fucking nightmare.
Its flooded to the brim with early access trash or mobile games.
If they would actually enforce some form of quality control maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
>>322374195
Impressive beard, but we're onto you. Bullshit aside what did you do with said goat? Still have it? Pics?
>>322374479
But that requires manpower and Valve doesn't want to hire people to do that.
Everything needs to be automated.
>>322373417
They also stated they will port all their Source1 games to Source2. Still waiting on that.
>>322372780
Greenlight isn't the problem. MAC is. Ever since MAC was considered an acceptable platform for PC games, this made anyone with a loose understanding of Unity to shit out games.
>>322374563
Can't they just hire volunteers to do it for free or something?
I'm sure there are plenty of autists that use steam that would willing sift through the sea of shit that is the greenlight page.
>>322374804
That's kinda what is happening with Greenlight. The volunteers can vote on what can be in the store.
Kids with too much time and autism now are in a position of power, and look what happened.
>>322374687
But that still isn't the main problem though. And isn't Unity available on damn near anything?
WE WUZ CUBES N SHIT
>>322374804
Volunteers are a liability. Random autists should not be trusted with such authority. That system would be abused immediately.
>>322374932
All of the artsy fartsy PC games like Gone Home were made by Macfags. Macfags are a fucking cancer.
>>322372780
Greenlight is the No Child Left Behind of video games.
>>322374483
Shoved it on a shelf with a bunch of other nicknacks I own. Don't have a camera worth a damn to take photos unfortunately. Here's a pic from their website, same design but it's just a clear plastic one. Nothing fancy like colour.
>>322375056
Just screen them before giving them the job.
They could just show them a picture of Undertale and say"Does this look like it belongs on Steam?"
If they answer yes then give them the boot, if they answer no then welcome aboard.
>>322375267
At least the left one looks nice.
>>322372780
Yes, it completely ruined the steam store and made it all gay anime
>>322375380
screening takes time and money, silly pancakeposter
>>322375380
>If they answer yes and bring in a game that brings a bunch of sales to steam, give them the boot, if they say no and lose you millions of sales, welcome aboard!
/v/ logic
I would buy the shit out of that
>>322372780
steam in general was a failure
>>322374214
I wouldn't call 500,000 units a crazy success, it's about average for a game of its kind. Still, the fanbase has made its mark.
>>322376628
>half a million sales of an indie game that hasn't even been in a bundle yet made largely by one dude is not a crazy success
What planet are you living on?
>>322372780
Clearly
Absolutely.
But that's what happens when you just let any faggot submit whatever hot diarrhea of a "game" they squirt out of their rectum and charge money for it.
>>322374214
I'm ready for feminism, queer romance and progressive values....to get put in the trash
Would it be more funny if we get it greenlit?
>>322377110
it might be "crazy success" for the guy who made it
not for gaming as a whole
and the people who like it (outside the retarded tumblrsphere) don't like it because of feminism, gayism and whatever the fuck else ism that site is trying to spread
most people just see a cutesy weird Earthbound-clone with a unique plot and mechanics, then get bored of it halfway through
>>322375267
cool, thanks anon.
