Well, that could technically be only your tastes in games, and you're being picky...
...But knowing Greenlight, it's probably not.

Your first sentence sounds reasonable, but yet I own approx. 1900 game on Steam, including titles which are "decent". So this is not the case.
I somehow feel like Steam is publishing every game possible. Whether it may be shit or not does not matter.

Well, Steam isn't really publishing anything, they are only selling it. I honestly don't care what they sell or not, as long as they support and protect their customers, which they are not doing properly, altough they are making some very slow progress.
For me the problem is in the "developers". Like, poeple learned to code 2 weeks ago and decided to create a kickstarter and a steam greenlight to start selling the project they are making to learn how to develop games. It's complete crazyness. You don't need to sell everything. Damn, just look around and see how many awesome free games are out there. Just take your time and learn a hobby. If you become good enough, go right ahead and start selling the games you make, but otherwise thank people to be wasting their times with your crappy game to give you feedback. I think it's a cultural problem really.

Also, it's a matter of taste. A game someone finds to be bad might be pretty great to someone else.

Ehh, not really, Sturgeon's Law has always been in play.

I'm not sure how this would be applicable to video games on any platform.

I'm not sure how it wouldn't be...
I mean, this was a thing.

And imagine, that cost thousands just for access to dev tools, and another load of thousands for rights to have it released on the PS console.
I always chuckle whenever a thread like this comes up. Blah blah blah, this publisher, or this dev, or this digital store front is what is bringing gaming quality down. So silly.

The fact that there are many shitty developers and publishers and digital storefronts does not mean that none of them are bringing gaming quality down, friend. It means that all of them are bringing gaming quality down. :-)

Blame the people buying and supporting the devs making said games. Cant blame store fronts for stocking a product people are willing to pay for. Cant blame a studio for making a product people are willing to buy. You blame the stupid people encouraging it all buy telling the entire industy, "Hey! We love paying money for half finished products that are rehashes of the same story year after year! We love paying for more and more intrusive products too! Keep giving us the ol' on two from behind, we love it!"

Yes, and a lot of PS1 era games are on Steam
Like Oddworld series, Legacy of Kain, Shadow Man, Final Fantasy, Psychonauts, N20: Nitrous Oxide, Sol Divide.
PS1 games coming to Steam are: Pandemonium!, Koudelka, Tatsunoko Fight, and Battle Arena Toshinden 2
But I advise you to buy PC games, not ported games, because you might enjoy newer games that you haven't tried yet.

You seem to have completely missed the point of him mentioning the PS1, friend.
He's not saying that the only good games on Steam are ports of Playstation games (and incidentally, Psychonauts was an original Xbox game, not a PS1 game), he's just commenting that the majority of PS1 games were well made, quality games, whereas the majority of games on Steam, at least the ones released through Greenlight, are total garbage.
I don't even know if I agree with those sentiments, but that's what he was saying. :P

Apparently D is getting the same treatment too. Much excite! "Laura. Laaaaura." "Oh f*ck not this guy again."
Any word on Toshinden 1 & 3 being ported?

Yes, companies are dumping crap on the market once again, just like they did in consoles before Nintendo had to save the gaming industry with SNES back in the days.
Many games being released today are just copied ideas of old console games.
I'm not sure if today's gamers have short memory or just bad taste, but while people keep swallowing garbage, they'll keep coming.
Unfortunately some people deserve Alphas that will never get finished.
But don't worry, you already won the Internet with your profile picture :)

Props for not mentioning Bad Rats. That game earned its infamy before Greenlight, so relative to now...

Remember back when you played on your PS1 and only a small percentage of game were complete crap? Yeah, I miss those times as well.
