I think the author wants to suggest a solution where anyone can submit a game, but there is still some sort of quality check before it goes on sale. Currently, we have floods of garbage hitting Steam, with no curation at all. Pre-Greenlight

> since most computer games are FPS I definitely would like to see some evidence to support this - if you have any. Yes, FPS is massively popular, but there is also a massive amount of less known titles that are not FPS games
