Valve’s Steam Greenlight program has finally been shut down in favor of Steam Direct (which launches June 13th) after months without clarity about when this changeover would occur and what the cost would be to developers submitting their games into the new Steam Direct program.
There’s this interesting note in the announcement from Valve’s Alden Kroll:
Over the next week, a team here at Valve will be reviewing the list of titles that have not yet been Greenlit and will be selecting the final batch of titles to pass through the Greenlight process. Our goal is to Greenlight as many of the remaining games as we have confidence in.
It’s good that Valve are trying to help anyone who had been in the process, but I feel bad for anyone who had a game in Greenlight, or was considering submitting one, during the past 6 months.
