pezus said: Wait, what? "and that Valve's atrocious Greenlight process is far worse than Nintendo's proceedures." - since when? |
Since recently. Nintendo's processes have gotten more streamlined and indie-friendly, while Greenlight has grown bloated to the point that it seems quite difficult to get a game passed without a strong, concentrated effort. Shantae: Risky's Revenge, a very highly critically-acclaimed DSiWare game, has been drowning in the sludge of Greenlight for a while now. Mutant Mudds, another well-received eShop title, is having no more luck. It doesn't help that games like Fez are given a free pass, just because...why, again? Because it'll sell on name alone? Meanwhile, indie devs are having an easier time than ever getting their games published on 3DS and Wii U eShops.
And those who argue against my use of the word "atrocious," I'm just going by Bertil's comment that Greenlight is "a far bigger offense than anything Nintendo has done since the SNES era." Now I can't speak for you guys, but I consider WiiWare pretty atrocious. According to Bertil, Greenlight is worse. I'll remove the word, though, if it's that distracting.
