Valve(Gabe) is not happy bout greenlight and the voting system (abused alot and dont show when game is good or not)
You can find this when you google about ... this are not news
They wanna change greenlight-system and looks like they remove it complete and just let the indi devs post the games direct in shop and let the "sells" speak for the game
a better solution i think
cause all this "vote for my game to greenlight and i give 100 keys for free" or other things like this exploit the system and bring shittie "pixel,rpg maker, early acces for 5 years or crap like this" games in shop and make it harder for some other good games we maby will miss cause of this

The real cases that are crapping things up aren't so much the RPG maker things, but the never-finishing multiplayer survivor games and "Simulator" games that keep on flooding things.
And I didn't see "bribery" with many things.

it is control than
when people buy it its good and when noone buy the game than it gets removed from shop and is done
it is far better than greenlight
cause when someone wanna sell something he cant bring stupid early acces thing with only 1 map cause noone will buy it - he have to bring quality and have to advertise the game and cant just exploit the system with buying votes for 100 free keys he never sent out anyway
just think about a system like:
all indi games will be marked INDI
first 100 sells get a 90% discount (when give a review in first month than 90% money they get back to steam wallet when review got upvoted atleast 15x or something)
i would like this

Not the first time it's happened so hard to tell. Similar mild panic like this came about as the rumor was going it was going to be the first of last year.

From what I understand, developers will be able to directly publish on Steam once Greenlight is out of the way. If anything, the problems with Greenlight would be worse after that.
Also, I'm wondering just how many devs will pull the "I didn't get Greenlit, I owe you nothing" after all the Greenlight bundles we've had all this time.

I'm aware they are a gamble. But I can still expect to get the game at release unless the devs are pieces of ****. Already had some pull a publisher and then refuse to hand out anything after multiple greenlight bundles.

If a game was in a $1 Greenlight bundle and they never got Greenlight, they don't owe us Steam keys. We're not entitled to a Steam key because we paid 10 cents for a Desura key and a Steam key promise only if they actually got Greenlight.

They promised future keys and got paid. If they never got on Steam, I'm not going to complain. If they get on Steam, they damn well can give keys. It doesn't cost them anything, and gets them some good will rather than a bunch of pissed users who will only poison further users against them.

So... the screenshot they give is full of spelling errors (last QA: disspear / visable). Looks fake. That said - I wouldn't be surprised if Greenlight went away, for all the reasons mentioned. Just that this evidence isn't convincing...

Unless Valve can come up with something that can allow good indie devs to get in and to keep abuse to a low, closing Greenlight won't be a magical cure all some people think it'll be.

It's obviously fake, the spelling is terrible. Also people should really stop hoping for greenlight's death. Don't you people realize that this will mean the floodgates will open? Any piece of garbage will simply get on steam. Despite it's many problems and easy to abuse nature it's keeping plenty of shit off steam right now, just have a look at some of the games that have been waiting on it forever, i'm sure you will find plenty of real "gems" that you'd never want to see released.
