This particular submission reminded me of those times, which is why I made this thread asking if they'd dropped the $100 fee. Sadly, it just turns out that people are willing to throw away (to a charity, of course) money to submit something that will only be met with ridicule. It's pretty sad, they could have put that $100 towards making their game better, while having a spot on concepts for free.
Furthermore, the OP's intent was not to call out a single game as being awful but to point out one as an example of the poor quality of games being submitted here.
It's rather rude and the author is not in any way made aware of it the same way he is on his projects page? Give the guy a decent chance to defend himself! herself/theirselves/whatever There doesn't seem to be much of a difference in the concequences of the the action regardless of the intent? (Time to thow cliché proverbs at you!) The road to hell is paved with good intentions :p
which has a whole other set of connotations...
While I can see where you're coming from, and I have no intention of mocking the developer of that 'game', if I were working at Valve I'd probably be embarrassed to see something like that appear on one of the company's services, despite my view that Greenlight ought to be open to all without prejudice. To tell the truth, I do not know Valve's stance on greenlight submissions. It may well be for them that, as long as Mr Game Dev pays up, anything goes and that's that.
I would prefer that Valve incorporates some form of quality moderation for Greenlight submissions. While it might be somewhat difficult to pull off, it would save Mr Game Dev a lot of embarrassment when he sees that nobody (unironically, mind you) responds positively to the submission and ends up with about 10 pages worth of comments basically mocking both game and dev.
Also, as has been said before. This thread was not made to ridicule a developer, it was made out of concern that low quality submissions are allowed to be made.
Linking a developer's game does not in any way ridicule their person. So no, I would not.
My posts have only included feelings of concern for the state of Greenlight. Nothing I have posted so far has been made to mock anyone. I'm afraid if you take this in any other way then there's little I can do.
It's pretty obvious that your OP is outright slamming the project you included. If you were only writing about the "state of Greenlight" in general, then you wouldn't have singled out a single project to pick on. That's really not what these forums are for.
