[quote name="jeep"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I didn't get why they let people downvote the games. But now I see they let people downvote AND leave comments. You have to be fucking kidding me. The game you linked to looks terrible, but the last thing any of these people need is dipshit kiddies sneering at them over Steam. I can't think of a worse venue for that. If a developer responds to the bags of shit ripping his game (while almost by definition, those shitheads are doing it without being able to play the game) it's just a matter of time before some Steam "Community Manager" that is in over his head sees the exchange and bans both accounts. I was considering submitting one of my games. I don't care if people rip it, I just expect to be able to respond, as the <i>last</i> thing I would do is quietly take shit from a user over Steam. Losing access to hundreds of dollars of games because some minimum wage dickfuck saw me blast some retard isn't worth it. This entire Greenlight concept is a horrible, stupid and asinine implementation. They've somehow managed to develop a system that is much worse than "Some dude reads a submission e-mail and thinks back to if he's heard of your game." ICJ[/quote] - the downvotes don't tally with the upvotes, they're counted seperately and only affect the order the games show up in for the voter. - the comments are key, really. a bunch of the people who make the games are deluded that their game is "basically done" when it's literally years out, and they need some real-world feedback to knock some sense into them. you don't want greenlight turning into fucking webcomics do you? - it's the developers own fault the users rip them without playing it, they are supposed to have a playable demo but 99% of them don't put one. - bans in Greenlight only affect posting comments/discussions, and they seem to last a week. no one lost access to their games, not even the asshole who posted an 'assassinate the president' game - the broken part of the system is a) not being able to sort stuff I already voted on or whatever, and b) not letting steam users take a cattle prod to the dev of Yeah Jam Fury[/quote]
