Extremely untasteful, but I don't see why it wouldn't be covered by freedom of speech. Thus I see no reason why it couldn't be on Steam.

Also, even if we assume this shouldn't be on Steam, there's always the argument of Valve making getting on Steam too hard. It's difficult to find the balance between letting too few games on Steam and letting too many games on Steam. Obviously with Valve's market position it shows more responsibility to let more games to Steam, but if you do that, you have to have a clear policy on what gets through, and you have to stick to that. Maybe that policy needs refinement, maybe not.

We're skating a fine line between censorship and free speech. Thats for sure.

What intelligent process would you recommend to evaluate softwares that are constantly changing during the development process? Hell, even during the certification.

MS is just one entity with limited human resources to cover all the supervision to be made, in order to assure softwares in an optimal condition in the Marketplace.

It's shitty for us as well to have a situation similar to Steam and sift through all the sh*tware to find a gem.

The process of someone playing the game and saying "this runs at 4fps, is comprised solely of stock unity assets and consists of one level which I will fall through if i rub up against any wall. I don't think it is ready to release".

Also, how much money does MS make every year on Gold Memberships? How much does Valve make off of all the bullshit that they let on their storefront? I think they can afford a small team to do a quick check to make sure the games are deserving of a place in the store.

I don't think that consoles are really in need of this yet for the reasons I stated earlier, but Steam is in dire need of it. Their Greenlight system and Early Access system have MAJOR flaws and as you said, their current solution (aka, doing bugger all) is bad for consumers and developers alike.

It should be allowed. I don't agree with its message but like many have said, it infringes on the devs freedom of speech. If you don't like it don't buy it, I know I won't XD

Valve reserves the right to refuse to allow a game to be sold through their platform. The devs would still be free to make the game and distribute it through other means.

As this is already a Jim Sterling thread, I'll share a recent Jimquisition episode as a point of comparison. I think it's a similar situation. Valve refusing to sell a particular game on Steam is not censorship any more than Target refusing to stock GTAV is. I don't think asking Valve to have standards is a "free speech" issue.

I think Valve reserves the right to refuse to do business with whoever they want.

Well they allowed it and they can either keep it and ride it through or get rid of it and cause the same backlash they got with Hatred. The problem is that they allowed it in the first place, yes, but as it stands in its current state they're in a lose-lose situation.

I'm not saying it is against freed speech to get rid of/not allowing it -this is more directed to the people saying it shouldn't be allowed to exist which a few commenters on different sites have said (haven't really read the comments here in this thread). Should they have better standards? Of course. Is this the tipping point? No, the tipping point happened a LONG time ago. Hopefully in the near future they'll improve their greenlight system. 

Well, they have to satisfy gamers by giving them couple of "free" games monthly and by doing that they have to compensate devs/pubs.

They have to maintain servers for online gaming and modern competitive games require robust network infrastructure (Killer Instinct is the game with the best netcode I've seen so far this gen).

It "welps" them during software droughts to offset losses and they wouldn't want to dig into that honeypot. Investors wouldn't want that.

Why would they cut into their revenue, if they can arrange a solution where pubs and devs could work out a deal and the three parts come out favored? That's in a perfect world. MS does that but other publishers reportedly are too greedy to let devs get a significant cut.

You people are overeacting. It's steam greenlight. For the game to get passed, it needs COMMUNITY approval. Just vote no, simple as that.
