So Valve is adding in a easier way for indie developers to put their games on steam.

While I love this idea, I just hope it doesn't get bogged down with terrible games that drown out the actual good ones.

In before someone actually submits a fan-game they made with BYOND to Steam. I really do believe someone will do this and it won't be pretty at all.

I don't know if they are willing to take online games via steam greenlight. Seems like a potential liability if the game in question shuts down or doesn't have the server capacity to handle the increased popularity. Who knows?

Are there any restrictions on what can be posted?
Your game must not contain offensive material or violate copyright or intellectual property rights.

It seems they review submissions beforehand, LA. I don't think fan-games will be a problem to them unless they get flooded with submissions. They can just reject them.

Steam? No! You're supposed to buy games on Steam! Although steam games don't "belong" to steam. Steam just acts as a middle-man to get the product to the customer. I think it emerged because people didn't like going out to buy cds.
