Well, that's why I would prefer at least 2 tier system. And honestly, $2000 is peanuts for any serious game, and I'm affraid this will make Steam akin to chaos that Apple and Google stores are. |
Well the $100 isn't the only thing that will prevent shovelware... If you have watched TB's video about steam direct for example, valve is gonna have many other things in place to make sure the shovelware games either aren't viewable or they won't be able to make money. So I don't think having a tier system is even nessessary. I think $100 per game is plenty. If money was the only measure against bad games, then maybe I would have said yes but since Valve is saying there will be plenty of other measures, I don't think making it much more than $100 is needed.
And it really isn't peanuts considering how little niche titles sell... I don't want steam store to be filled with games that are mainly big budget or need to sell over like 50k in order to be worth it, I want it to be filled with a wide variety of games as long as they are good. And many of these vns and etc are good and they don't sell a lot. Some even sell as low as 2000 units and don't cost very much. I don't want those types of games to go away cause they have good content in them for those who like vns...
