  1. It’s ya boy chungus

    $100 dollars per game is, as you said, easily re-earned if you make a QUALITY game.

  3. May the holy god (Jim specifically) bless us.

    Jim is not bothered by something? Mark the fucking calendar

  5. Doesn’t need a fee. Just hire moderators ffs Valve.

  6. a fee will never replace a good monitoring. valve is just too greedy, like they where all the time.

  7. How is this different to Greenlight at this point though?

  8. $100? That isn’t going to do jack shit. It’s too small an amount.
    Fuck your shit, Valve.

  9. I think $250-$300 would have been a fair price. Most legitimate studios can afford that much, and at the very least if someone wanted to put up a junk game at the very least their wallets will take a bigger hit then just $100.

  10. It’s the same price as greenlight without the voting process… how is this helping again?

  11. Lowest available resolution as I write this is 720p

    my internet can’t handle that shit. It’s a shitty internet. A shitternet.

  12. Doesn’t this discourage free games though?

  13. Thats nice but why the FUCK is the lowest available quality 720p??

  14. Actually, talent and money does go hand in hand statistically, but yes it is possible to have a lot of one and not the other.

  15. I know I’m sounding like an elitist saying this but I don’t think 100 dollars is enough to stop scammers and shit people. I’d say 200-250 would do a better job while not being an insurmountable barrier for legit developers. Especially if they can get it back.

  16. Wasn’t it $100 once for infinite games on Greenlight? So this is more relevant than that was.

  17. As long as Steam keeps those awesome sales up, ill pay any fee

  18. Oh thank god, $100 isn’t that much

  19. That whistle in the background is maddening.

  20. I’m more interested in the algorithm.
