Valve & What gets to be on Steam

[Blackquill]

Steam Direct was advertised as a viable, working alternative compared to Greenlight yet it proved itself to be just worse; all I really want is to browse a videogame store without shit meme games, shit games developed in a matter of minutes with free Unity assets and hentai "games" (if you can call them that)

I'm not really sure on how Direct works, but Greenlight at least allowed a wee bit of "natural selection" of which games get in and which don't thanks to community feedback.

Isn't direct basically greenlight but you need to pay a fee each time?

Yes, but games are no longer blindly put on the Store simply because of user feedback - apparently they got a separate team to test out every game before releasing it on the store, which kind of makes you think on how they managed to release the school shooting simulator then
