What happened to Steam? I am trying to browse for a game and can't find anything besides literal garbage everywhere. I remember Steam had about 200 games and this year it has probably 2000, mostly trash "indie" games.

>Aight? I'm Candice innit (that's me up in the photo, the biggest one as I am well important), and this is an Action RPG all about the incredibly trick lifestyle of me and my m8s!

So basically, I was going 2 get myself a new fake tan one day, when an evil singing sensation named Krystal turns up & startz causing havoc innit?!? Naturally I wasn't having that, and tried 2 stop her. Sadly I failed, and she stole my mate's tanning business.

All was lost. But then I remembered I have magical powers! I can shoot out magical bulletz in every direction, like some sort of human twin stick space ship or something! I used this knowledge to go on an adventure around the world to learn new magical powers, and ended up saving both the world and the tanning business!

I had loads of fun along the way, did a bit of rapping (I am a well good rapper desu), made new friends and had a few romances as well!!! Basically it was a right laugh, and u can experience it all in my new action rpg!!!!

Love,

Candice Xxxxx

Valve monetized other people doing the work and having to work publish through Steam

Don't matter if its garbage people buy it and they get a cut, there's no benefit for valve to strictly regulate and de-list all the trash that prints money

Let me explain.

When someone makes a shit game that won't be greenlit, they start giving away the game to everyone who votes (as in they promise they will give codes to the faggots).
People like collecting things, so they do that.
Also, greenlight only counts votes for. The ones against don't do shit.

Generally giving away games ruins Steam. Look at the Steamgifts site. People buy cheap stuff that no one would ever buy, because it's -90% and give those shitty games away, getting some kind of points for the whole value.
Which means faggots buy shit games no one would buy and give them away to other faggots who don't even want them.

I'm sort of impressed she possessed the skills to make a game in the first place. Also

This is part of it, but I'd also talk about how the tools to make a game are easily available. If you wanted to make a game 10 years ago, you kind of had to know what you were doing. Now anyone can make a game in 10 minutes by downloading an engine and some assets and throw it up on steam.

Steam being flooded with crap made by people who shouldn't be making games mixed with Steams terrible greenlight system is why Steam is full of shitty games no one would buy.

Guessing Kickstarter is probably the only way to get your game noticed now because of that.

The tools being easily available is a good thing imo but I agree quickly made RPG maker games with no custom characters or tiles and quickly thrown together game maker games shouldn't be on there.

No easy way of doing quality control though.
