Steam used to be relatively hard to get games on to, and while it meant that a lot of good indie games weren't on steam, it also meant that in general (with obvious exceptions), most games on steam were pretty decent.
Now that they've been running the Greenlight program for a while, I've found that the number of games I actually buy on steam has gone way way down. There's just too much crap to shovel through; if a game is worth buying, I'll probably hear about it through some other channel, instead of by finding it on steam, and go to pick it up. Even during the sales events, I don't bother doing anything besides looking at what the 12 to 24 daily specials are, and I'll rarely buy them now.

On the other hand, I'm starting to appreciate games where the primary complaint was "it was too short". There's something to be said for one of those 2 hour walking simulators as a palette cleanser.
