I haven't really been paying attention to Greenlight much, but it seems weird that both games are only at 1%. Even Black Mesa is only at 39% and I've heard a lot about that lately. Are they all low because a lot of people are voting "no"?

Shantae Risky's Revenge was mediocre as hell though.

Definitely voting Grey Matter.

No's don't matter in that regard. They are low because they are older games that just got put on, and getting little to no promotion, whereas when Black Mesa is long awaited, free, and got a ton of push across the internet when it landed on greenlight.

TLDR, it's low because no one is really going to the pages yet.

Not to mention the amount of upvotes required is probably too high at the moment. Valve has said that the system isn't set yet, so we may see a change.

They're low because they just went up yesterday, and because there are 30 pages of Greenlight games to parse through, and because it takes a long time for these games to generate enough votes to earn a percentage point. Even popular games that went up the day Greenlight launched are hovering between 1 & 3%.

It'll take a while before anything gets accepted.

There will have to be a change; there just isn't enough people with enough or willing to dedicate enough time to rate game on Greenlight. They'll definitely have to cut down the current requirement.

Someone said McPixel was at 11% which would be the highest number I've seen if its true.

Black Mesa is at 40% right now.

Either way, I think it's been said that a game does not actually require 100% to be accepted. It's just a gauge to see how much interest there is.

Also, a game reaching 100% doesn't mean that Valve is forced to accept it, either. It can still be rejected for other practical reasons. Though ideally. those reasons would see it removed long before they get that kind of voting power behind it.

They set a purposely high threshold because, well, setting one that proved too low from the start would have been a fiasco.

I think Project Zomboid is at around 28%. I've decided Greenlight just annoys me. I see all kinds of stupid games with stickman, or skinnyman, or stupid tall gangly man, or whatever the heck that stupid flavor of the week character is with a bunch of upvotes, and then a classic like Silent Storm with no love. A game like Silent Storm shouldn't even have to on Greenlight, it should just be a no brainer.

Considering this is on the designer's site, there is a legit PC version.

Whether the person who put it up is legit is another question.

How do you guys think the betas for "Big Picture" mode will be handed out? Pillar of Community again?

done just because it's you.

I know a lot of folks here like Gray Matter, and Venetica and the others I'm sure as well so please vote so we can see them on Steam.

loved black mirror would love to see their other stuff on Steam.

I just built a system, have some $$$ saving tips:

Get the i5-3570($230 on amazon) if your main use is gaming. you can research yourself, but there is only a few % difference in most games between the two and the 3570 will save you some cash. With the card you choose the i7 seems like an odd match anyway, I'd suggest using the money save on the i5 toward a better/newer card. The strides made in the current GPU generation with DX11 & tessellation are substantial. and I havent heard about any big new DX updates coming, DX11 could be like 9 and stay with us for a while, meaning a decent DX11 card will hold you over a bit longer. For $60 of the savings can net you a VisionTek 7850 instead at amazon, so you still come out ahead

Dump the Agility 3, when amazon has the 128GB agility 4 for $55 AR right now(are you a CAG or an imposter? really man, use a deals site). And if you can, look for or wait for a deal on a Samsung 830 SSD drive. its faster and more reliable, and on sale NO more than $20 more than that 3.

My new rig(Hadn't had one in YEARS, so I was tempted to go crazy until the CAg in me kicked in):
Corsair C70 Vengeance (drab green) case
(Extra two Corsair Performance AF fans in the side window)
P8z77-V
i5-3570
Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB 1600 Memory
MSi GTX 660Ti Power Edition 2GDR/OC
Samsung 830 256GB
HSGT 7K3000 2TB
Corsair H100 CPU cooler

I had it run Folding at home for 8 hours, while lightly OC'd to 4.1, and the CPU never got above 38 degrees C running full throttle the entire time, so I like the cooler. Have a OC profile for over 4.3 MHz when I want to push it that far, but the system got unstable without overvolting at 4.4. Didn't want to overvolt so just stopped there

Hi all,

I have a stupid question. Hopefully there's a simple (maybe even stupid) answer.


I've seen some people selling several keys for one Steam game here in CAG's trading section and in the Steam forum trading section. People with something like 10 keys for a game not even out yet, or a game that is reasonably new. Doing the math, some of our fellow CAGs are carrying several hundred dollars of Steam keys. Crazy.

For preorders, are these people going to the same websites as the rest of us - GreenManGaming, GamersGate, Amazon - and just buying a dozen keys for one game when they think its at its lowest pre-order price and then treating those keys like some publicly-traded stock? Or are they small-scale merchants with access to keys directly from Steam because they buy so many?

I just don't get it. How is it that reputable members of CAG can sell pre-order Steam keys for $30 when GMG/GG/Amazon are selling them for $45 (or $38 if on sale) three months before launch? How is that profitable for them? Or have 8 keys for a game that's only been out for three weeks and sell the key at $25?

I'm just not understanding where the profit is.... I get the whole buy low, sell high mindset, but I wonder if there's more to it than that.
Thanks.

Hmm ok I think I get how it works now. It'll be interesting to see what gets chosen first.

Ahh ok, I didn't realize they just started the other day. I knew it was recently but I thought it started earlier in the week. Hopefully more people start voting!
