Quoting: GuestSounds like typical greedy Valve.

Let me explain you how the game industry with crappy games was working....

for example....

I as a developer I create a crappy fps game with all the game assets being bought dirty cheap , create some lvls and put it on Greenlight....

Now I need people to vote for my game in order to get it to steam

So I put my game in many bundle sites or I can do maybe some giveaways and "force" people to vote for my game in order for them to get a steam key when my game gets greenlight.

Finaly my game gets greenlight even though it was not worth it but Steam cant do otherwise since people blindly voted for it.
But now I need 30K keys to fulfil my promise to bundle sites and giveaways.

So I request from valve 50K Steam Keys for a game that I put on steam that costs 0.99 or maybe 1.99
Lets say that I also sold the other 20k steam keys even dirty cheap for 0.10 or 0.05 so in short I Am out of keys and I request another 50k keys from steam.
So again I use these keys to put them in bundles or sell them dirty cheap even 0.02 cents and that ends my sales on that game.

So in short I spend 200$ to create this game
I sold 50k copies in Bundles for 0.10 = 50k x 0.10 = 5000
I sold another 50k copies dirty cheap = 50k x 0.02 = 1000

Total 6,000 - 200 = 5,800 profit for a crappy game....ok nice business , lets create another crappy game!!!

So Steam has decided to end Greenlight but at the end it was not the greenlight the real problem but the abusive use of Steam Keys from greedy developers.

Some developers from "poor" countries may sell their games for even 0.01 cent because their monthly salary is like 300$ so even if a crappy game earns like 400$ or 500$ they are more than happy with that.

(I was like no way!!! but then I understood the reasons like all other foreign companies that have a company in my country)

As far as I remember back in the old days(around 1995) with my very old PC I had to pay around 200$ to add 4MB RAM in order to play Full Throttle!
It needed 8MB RAM :'( ( NO REGRETS!!!)

You can get Full Throttle for 5 euro from Steam, if you own all Double Fine Games you get like 67% Discount

I learned the hard way why you shouldn't interrupt rabbits during mating ...
(Of course I would do the same if someone was interrupting me during sex :P)

I have tried to watch the first two episodes because a lot of my friends were telling me to watch it but to be honest I wanted to turn off the TV in the first 5 min.
I struggled to watch the second episode but enough was enough I just couldn't bare it.
I don't understand what this show is offering to the people and everyone recommend it.
Is not funny at all, not even a chuckle but I can easily say that it was one of the most annoying shows I have ever seen in my whole life.

My favourites are Wonder Boy and especially Wonder Boy in Monster Land (used to finish it with 1 single coin )

Also I remember that the owner of the Arcade Machine was turning off the Wonder Boy in Monster Land Arcade Machine while I was playing with the reason that the electricity was cut off.
He wanted to let other people to play on it in order to get more coins,I was playing for like 1h+ continuously with 1 coin so it was not good for his business, but he was giving me back the 1 coin after the "power failure" :P
