Yeah, I have awful Anonymous-themed icon (earned from a Beat Hazard badge, randomly) that's worth more than a quarter. Most are poo poo because they're completely unreadable at the size they appear in text or just completely meaningless outside of whatever context generated them. The few I have that are worth anything seem to be partly so just because they're readable smilies of various sorts.

If I were an amateur dev bringing my first RPG maker game to Steam via the power of some shady third-party company that generates Greenlight votes I'd just create the most commonly used and edgy set of chat smilies that have nothing to do with the game and watch the cash flow. Or maybe some smart entrepreneur has already done that?

You're on the planet 'poo poo world' between turds, you're a sperm and you cum at little asses that in turn poo poo in your general direction, also dolphins and pizzas, the face of Jesus Christ is your special attack, roflcopter. Roll in your own piss, turds, vomit and snot.

Welcum to the Razer afterparty.

Still more tasteful than BoI.

I have a number of questions for you about how you reached this conclusion.

I would imagine the answer is some variation of "I have played all the porn games on steam".

Ever since VALVe started selling hats there has been no quality whatsoever.

The very first 3rd party game on steam - Ragdoll Kung-fu - was poo poo. There has been no quality control ever.

So, ok, there's about 1,000 anime visual novel games on Steam.
But that's because they're super cheap and easy to make, right? There aren't any actual Positive Experiences I'm missing out on, right?
Like, is there a GOOD anime visual novel? One that Those People go "aww yeah, you GOTTA play Nekochan Love Missile XXY, it's the Chrono Trigger of dumb porno games" or whatever?

I did not know any of this about Steam Direct until reading about it in this thread, but goddamn that makes what I've been seeing recently on Steam make a lot of sense. It won't stop, either, since Valve makes at least $100 per piece of shovelware added to their service. They need to have active screening of submitted games, but they created a financial incentive for themselves to do nothing about the shitshow they created.

It's beautiful, in a way.

I'm pretty sure they donate the fee to charity.

Report it, then. Valve never checks any games at all unless people tell them to!

Flatout is also there.

Well, Wallpaper Engine has a steam workshop, and there is a lot of anime there. Questionable anime.

I'm kind of curious, since steam has no curation at all, what does it take to actually get removed from steam? I remember way back in the day, Stalin vs Martians was taken down for being completely terrible but it looks like a piece of art compared to these asset flips.

Sentinals of the Store have some good write-ups - https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Sentinels_of_the_Store#announcements. Mostly egregious abuse, it seems.

quote:

When Valve apply these "bans" the reasoning is usually tied to marketplace manipulation, which usually involves the developer employing a bot network to farm items in their game to then post the games on the marketplace and there were also bans placed for review policy violations for developers writing their own reviews.

There's just something about this awful cash-in shovelware that feels particularly egregious... :thunk:

If someone wants to make an edgelord game that's actually cool they should just make a Devilman game or some poo poo.

They could call it "Tekken" or something.

Using the "New releases under $5" category is probably cheating but it does provide some real winners like this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100970/Dancing_Girl/ (:nws:)


...which they're also selling bundled with a reskin of the exact same game released ~6 months prior, in case you are extra brain-damaged and/or shopping while exceedingly intoxicated. Bonus for having an even more nonsensical description inexplicably referencing an actual person who may not want to be associated with hornygames (besides skyrim, of course)

I did enjoy the developers list of factors which differentiate their OC - do not steal - with Overwatch's Mei, ending with "And their stories are unconnected" just in case someone thought this game was a sequel to Overwatch, or something.
