I don’t know much about Steam, but is that the “greenlight” thing? You guys are excited to have us play your game, and we want to play your game, but you have to wait for Steam to…what are they doing, anyway? Definitely not making sure the games are legit, because I’ve been through their store and hoo boy.
I’m obviously not a developer, just a nerd about ethical operational performance lol
That being said, I think it would be good to have real (paid!) humans (that you all can talk to!) internally monitor and tag the stream of new releases without an approval process. If they see something that violates the rules, then it can be removed. If the dev keeps doing it, they are removed. That way, you guys can still instantly upload your games, and we do not all have to wade through quantity slop - not to be confused with quality slop. My tepid take is that some of my favorite games look like they’re fresh from MS Paint or KidPix, and I don’t want that to go away.
