What? I thought Greenlight didn't even exist anymore! Valve has been talking about shelving it for literally the past 3-4 years - how haven't they gotten around to it yet?

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

They're probably waiting for some modder to remove it, then buy the rights or the modding team and pretend they removed it on their own.

 

And people will be raving about how the great Gaben delivered them from the terrors of Greenlight. ;)

600 hours of play???!! DEAR GOD WHY??? The most I have in a game is probably 120 hours, even upon completing The Witcher 3 multiple times wasn't even 120 hours.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

No hope now. Valve finally closed Greenlight and now Valve Direct is happening which is going to be amazing for pc gaming. Think of it as Nintendo's seal of quality approval <3

Not only doed it look absolutely horrid but it's going to be priced at $40 with 10% off at launch so says the official page anyway. 2 hours ago it said "This game will unlock in 1 hour". Even though I'm not interested in buying this game I am interested in seeing the initial reaction for people who are interested in purchasing it, savvy?

 

Another user made a good point recently saying:

 

"I was going to buy it until I read that the dev said the game was in development for over 20 years, which is hard to believe..."

 

How do you all feel about that?

Well, now it's passed Steam's next update/release window, but I can wait. If something has been in development for two decades, a few days aren't exactly a problem. :)

 

Interestingly, during a few minutes, the game was actually tagged as available:

I never believed the lie, never will but those Steam forums are full of intelligent and often hilarious content from random people.

I got a buddy with 700 hours on Rocket League.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I spent over 10k hours on World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic and some thousands of hours on Quake World and Quake 3 Arena. Apples and oranges a bit, no? :)
