Without Greenlight being what it is, Brigador would never have gotten in. They can't even get anything but the tiniest youtube/web reviewers to look at it because it's not the "right aesthetic". > With a normal book [...] you at least have to put in the effort to make it yourself. Not so, Amazon has plenty of algorithmically generated books in its store, and even in bookstores, which are curated by default, you can find plenty of outright shit. Also keep in mind i was responding to the complaint about the "what's new" list, which is something that was, is and remains useless in any store giving access to a huge market. (Steam's Discover Queue is really useful though and replaces it with an appropiately personalized What's New list.)

> Without Greenlight being what it is, Brigador would never have gotten in. Valve could pay a couple people to check games to make sure they're not 10-developer-hours trash. It's not a choice between "allow everything" or "super-popular games only". > Not so, Amazon has plenty of algorithmically generated books in its store That's why I said normal book, and explicitly gave an example of how Amazon can be worse. > even in bookstores, which are curated by default, you can find plenty of outright shit. That's okay. I don't want steam to protect me from merely 'bad' games. I want it to reject games that don't even try, or aren't even half done.
