The sound of you clicking the Yes thumbs up is almost deafening!

Maybe your sound is on and you've already went deaf from clicking the button.

i was thinking the same, but if it's for big names too, why not, i used to play that game :D

That's exactly why I'm trying to pimp it to as many people as possible. It IS a proper, reasonably big franchise and this is the third and best game in it. WRC 3 is a massive improvement over 2. And it has to go through greenlight, along with all those horrible unfinished, unimaginative, boring games that comprise 75% of greenlight.

"This really shouldn't be on greenlight... greenlight is for companies/individuals who can't afford to get the game on steam themselves."

Are you a developer or do you work for Steam? If no to both, then I probably wouldn't be telling people what Greenlight is for. Your comment of "for companies/individuals who can't afford to get the game on steam" brings up a few questions. Do you think Steam charges fees or takes bribes in order to be listed?

It almost seems like unless Steam thinks your game will be extremely profitable, they force you to go through Greenlight. At least that seems to be what happened to the Paranautical Activity developers. Started a Greenlight page, found a publisher and then was told by Steam "Nope, sorry, you're stuck in Greenlight!". Another example would be Holy Avatar vs. Maidens of the Dead which was made by the same developer who did the Grotesque Tactics series, yet they still had to list their new game on Greenlight.

It's nowhere near as hardcore as RBR but if we are completely honest, I think we can both agree RBR was a little overdone in terms of so-called 'realism', as in, you could not take a 4-turn at 35 km/h.

WRC 3 feels like a middle ground between RBR and the more arcade older CMRally installments, only with proper, tighter roads compared to CMR.

CMR was mostly fine, except some minor handling/physics issues and the fact that the stages were little too wide. I meant CMR Dirt and the later installments called just DIRT are anything but rally games.

Maybe so, but there is the whole issue of choice to consider. If you don't want to be locked into the Greenlight process, don't sign up for it. After all, nobody is forcing you to do so.
