Wait.
How the forget did Surgeon Simulator get greenlit? It's a free web-based game made in Unity, you can't make any loving money off that and there's no need to download it, what the hell is going on here?

People like it and think it's hilarious.

Were are we at now? I have a feeling we are quickly decreasing down the charts as time goes on

But it's a browser game!

[Niven]

so

Steam really should have limits to what games can go on Greenlight.

Doesn't this make us like #10 now?

It makes us like #2

[Tokthree]

If Farmville was put on Steam we'd probably lose to it as well.
I honestly find it extremely insulting that a short, free browser-based game has greater chances of getting on Steam than a game that would actually make Valve money and would provide the consumers more than a minute or two of entertainment

no

LemonAID is an ass....

I'm getting the impression that it's going to be expanded upon.

A ton of YouTubers did a lets-play on it and it said to help out on green-light on the main menu.

He's not asking how it got so popular- just how did a browser based game greenlit? How do you download something you play in a browser

Obviously they'll make a downloadable version if they haven't already, but it still seems very odd

I didn't even know there was a browser based version. I've only ever seen downloadable versions of it.
