so valve is charging 100 bucks to put a game on greenlight

[Buu]

There should be a vote on how many people want Blockland on Greenlight.

No, do not want

[Mr.jacksaunt]

How old are you that you think 100 dollars is a lot

Most people without jobs think so.

[?]

No, do not want

i agree, blockland should be on greenlight regardless of what a few dumb people think

[Teneksi]

don't they already make tons of dosh (money) by selling the games on steam? or am i being completely dumb and valve and steam are two different things.

The proceeds will be donated to Child’s Play. We have no interest in making money from this, but we do need to cut down the noise in the system.

I dont have a job and I dont think its a lot lol. I mean to me it would be but a game developer who wants to be able to support a game on a platform like Steam should be able to shell out a hundred bucks easily if he has any hopes for success.

[Soukuw]

dosh (money)

What the forget is the point of saying Dosh if you just going to type a word right after it that everyone is going to know? (Not that anyone doesn't know what Dosh means.)

It's like when people who use words that people normally don't know and then when you ask what it means and they treat you like a giant loving handicap.

Well I meant most younger people think it's expensive. Cyber for example is fairly young and must not be used to having that much money.

[Axolotl2]

100 dollars seems completely reasonable, it's donated to charity too.

except it's donated to Child's Play

there was this one guy who protested it saying that playing games in hospitals only convinces children to hurt themselves.

Cybertails1998 lives in Russia, so the standard currency for him is NOT USD.

That doesn't mean he doesn't know what $100 USD is.

[Demian]

The currency is irrelevant anyways since Steam doesn't use conversion rates. For them 1 USD = 1 EUR = 1 RUB.

[Kumquat]

Loads ah money!


Also that price seems very reasonable.

[Menen]

100 Dollars is nothing. (unless you are in college or something and you are broke all the time.)

I still don't see the point to the steambox, although I've seen people running around saying desktop pc's will be obesolete in twenty years.

Steam to save pc gaming for 2022!

Anyway back to Steam Greenlight. So if the origional purpose of the game was to allow any guy of the street submit his game and hopes to earn money off it while Valve takes a small percentage of the profit. Also One hundred dollars may not seem much, but they idea that you have to pay to get your game on there defeats the origional purpose of the game. So if Valve's reason to charge $100 to stop scam games or stuff that isn't safe for work then when do they have all those Pay to Win shooters on there? Those are scam too because they are made to make people buy weapons and kill better. So why not just moderate moderate the content, if it seems fake or too adult then just remove it. Also there seems to be much more to this 100 dollar thing because they are just happening to donate the money to a charity. Did it occur to anyone that they are using the Charity part as a cover up for soemthing else?

This is actually their helpless cry of denial as Home Computers take over the gaming market.

All hell would break loose if they said they weredonating the money to charity even though they really weren't. Valve's image would be ruined.
