New information about Steam Direct, an alternative to Steam Greenlight

At the beginning of this year, Valve announced plans to shut down Steam Greenlight for a multitude of games that are not looking to the level of the store and the number of games in general, and the company says it will put Steam Direct instead, and today the company participated Other information about this system is provided by an article in the Steam Blog on Steam Direct.

At first, the most controversial thing about the new Steam system was the price of the game, which the company said would be worth $ 100 to $ 5000 !!! This was a controversial situation as it is difficult for independent gaming companies to find an amount like $ 5,000 easily, at least in some countries that have a currency less than the dollar by a big margin. A state like the Republic of Egypt, where a number of games were launched on the Steam Greenlight system, would have been impossible to see if the offer was priced at $ 5000

But the new and good news is that the game will now be priced for $ 100 review only, in Greenlight you would have $ 100 and you can upload games as you like but in this case it is $ 100 per game you submit for review, this will ensure that The game is really worth the trouble, the $ 100 price came after the latest news about the $ 500 price that was expected to be the final price.

Of course, with the change of reviews and acceptance of the game - which will ensure the approval of a number of Steam users also - the number of games on the store will be reduced in a way that has been exploding significantly in the past years, and the other part of the article was talking about an attempt by the company to make The games you might like show you more in the store by algorithms that Valve will place inside the Steam store.

From my personal view of Steam Direct, I see nothing but trying to make it a bit harder for developers to introduce their games to the gaming community, as Steam has reached a point where it gets a thousand per day of new games and nothing comes out of it, perhaps One game every long time appears to the light, but all these games will only be on the store, available if one decides to approach them. At the end of the Steam article there was a statement that there was another article about the launch date of Steam Direct which was scheduled at the end of spring It will end in two weeks.
