Why can't steam just go back to the greenlight system.

Many great games wouldn't be released without the current system giving them a chance. Shovelware is a problem, but I think it's a fairer alternative.

What you don't remember where the armies of bot accounts it brought into Steam. People would pay for votes and get scams and money grabs greenlit while indies couldn't even get a foot on the door. YouTube channels made series about playing the shovelware and mocking the system. There's a reason it was done away with.

Every time I see a hentai game I didn't want to see it is directly my fault because I am too scared to filter out Sexual Content (or whatever the tag is) and then have some great game not focused on sex, that just so happens to have sexual content included and a horny fanbase that marked it Sexual Content, get banished from my sight.

Not sure about people who do actually try to use the filters to avoid sexual content though, if you have them set up and are still seeing it that's definitely a problem.

cesspool of bullshit games

You sure you aren't confusing Steam with the EA App?

(god that name is completely braindead)

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

That's not how it worked

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

Doubtful

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

Yeah this still happens except they sell puzzle games now.

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

EA has EA games...... I don't get the jab?

[toynbee@lemmy.world]

Can you explain the Will Smith reference? I am unaware of any affiliation he has with Steam / Valve.

[wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world]

It's because EA games have been regurgiated trash since like 2010

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

What games do you play?

[ech@lemm.ee]

There is a steamer named Will Smith as well.

[wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world]

The NFS series ("look how they massacred my boy"), The Sims, Burnout mostly. Battlefield as well, I've watched that series implode from the sidelines instead of in my face.

O.o @ your last sentence there. I'm a flaming gay furry, diversity is great.

[indibrony@lemmy.world]

2010 is generous. They've been shoveling shitware for much longer than that!

[toynbee@lemmy.world]

Oh, I see. Thank you for the information.

[wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world]

I do hold nfs hp 2010 as well as nfs mw 2012 in a good light, so that's why "like" 2010
