If I was being overly cynical i'd say that indie devs find storycrafting a lot easier than producing good gameplay. So of course the thing they're good at... just happens to be the "better" aspect all along.

My tiny cynic says that these people know deep down that no one would publish their book or turn their script into a movie and what do you know, indie games are a hip new thing, why not try that? Games are just like books and movies right?

Their game doesn't look good but I'll still wish them well considering literal crazy people are sending death threats at her daily. And one schizo guy crashed his mom's car driving to her house with a gun

Oh yeah, that's definitely lovely too. Probably just won't vote on it either way.

On another subject, I can't believe the Interview got greenlight, that game's a piece of poo poo.

Yo it's super unintuitive that a no vote does nothing, but there's a nonzero chance she does know that, but also knows that basically no one who follows her does and this is a good way to get votes so they will "win".

And dude on the last page, why would you lead a paragraph about Briana being wrong with the one thing that's an objective fact? Fun is super subjective, just look at dota.

A huge number of commentors seem to have shown up to the Greenlight page just give their "honest opinion" or their "two cents", as though this level of critique is normal for any game. Apparently just clicking "no" isn't an option, everyone has to comment and explain that they aren't member of gamergate, and also here's an essay on what's wrong with the game.

Her game looks loving awful but compared to some of the poo poo that Steam allows on the service it might as well be a AAA title.

The scale seems a little different in this case. At time of writing, there are 206 discussions (not comments, discussion threads), compared to 0 on the neighbouring games. That's in, what, 4 days? If you've had that many at that rate, fair enough, I stand corrected. But this really doesn't seem par for the course at all.

I get the criticisms of R60, but let's be clear - the hundreds of people suddenly writing long, detailed reviews of the game haven't shown up just because of the game.

Pretty much. They're both two sides of the same coin. Neither would have gotten anywhere if it wasn't for the fuss surrounding them, although it's funny as hell seeing the Hatred guys act a lot more humble than Brianna who is currently jumping up and down posting how much she loves glugging GG tears. :v:

Same happened with Anita Sarkeesian whose Kickstarter made a lot more money than she asked for because of same group of hateful idiots. And then they wonder why she was on Colbert. They created her. They made her famous. And the more famous she and others like her get the more they hate and make them even more famous.

Im sorry, but I think you've got the wrong idea, the game is poo poo regardless of who made it and who's pushing what agenda. I could care less about gamergaters or feminists, the only greenlight criteria should be whether you'd play the game or not. feeding either one troll or another will just prolongue the bullshit drama. 2 cents done.

Octopus City Blues just went up on Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=404286485

Does Greenlight really matter anymore? Either way you should vote for it, because it looks to be a great game. It's a sort of SNES-era looking adventure game with some great pixel art. If you followed the Kickstarter at all, they've since released a demo that shows off a lot of promise: http://ghost-in-a-bottle.itch.io/octopus-city-blues

It's taking much longer to develop than expected, but what doesn't these days!
