Steam Greenlight, the service where Steam users are able to cast their vote on indie games to determine which titles gets published on the Steam marketplace is now closed indefinitely.
[quote style=’1′ cite=” title=”]As of now, we are no longer accepting new game or software submissions via Steam Greenlight and voting has been disabled. One week from today, on June 13th, we’ll be turning on Steam Direct.[/quote]
Steam Direct, a replacement for the Steam Greenlight, will launch on June 13th. Any developers that meets their requirements can launch a game on the marketplace by paying a $100 fee for a single game with Steam Direct. From today onwards, Valve has also stopped accepting submissions from developers or votes from Steam users.
After five years, Steam Greenlight has received over 90 million votes cast on submissions and nearly 10 million players have participated in voting in Steam Greenlight, but over 63 million gamers have played a game that came to Steam via Greenlight. These players have logged a combined 3.5 Billion hours of game time in Greenlight titles.
With these kinds of successes, the thousands of niche titles, and everything in between, the company realized that a direct and predictable submission process will best serve the diverse interests of players. Hence, the Steam Direct approach.
