2012/09/12 - Steam Greenlight

[Badspot]

Yesterday Blockland was at #29 and today, after 18 games were greenlit, we're at #20.  They don't pick games from the top.  How the greenlight process actually operates remains a mystery.

it's probably based on the surge of votes it gets after being put on greenlight
i think our only chance was when we first put on there

How are we still at 20 if they picked 18?

They choose games that are "popular", so games that have tons of people voting it up constantly, it will be greenlit faster than a game that has had fewer votes over a longer timespan.

I knew there was something being forgeted up because the math didnt add up. They probably actually sit there and literally see if they like the game themselves and then pass it (which is a bullstuff way of doing this because games on greenlight are suppose to be picked entirely by the community, but you know, large companies screw up...even Valve). The way they are doing it now is basically just saying "forget the community".

Its loving bullstuff, they get to pick the games?
No!
They shouldn't pick them, the community loving does!

Success!

We should send a god damn complaint demanding why a game with so much support in 8 months doesn't get picked and why a game that has about the same or less support gets picked in the first try.

Calm down. There are developers that would kill to be #20.

we should nuke valve hq!!!
you guys seem to forget that valve considers greenlight their backalley abortion child that still got born. they are trying to stop it, but they're doing whatever the hell they like with the current batch. just to be able to stay on it at all is a good thing.

Well if we nuke them then we definitely have no chance in being on greenlight
