Valve’s Steam Greenlight has been live for less than 48 hours, and somebody has already tried to post a 9\/11 plane simulator on it. And been banned for it.<\/p>\n
The new community-oriented system lets users vote on game proposals – mostly indie projects – to see what’s hot and what’s not with potential customers. Anybody can add their own project to the platform, so obviously that means there’s been a lot of Half-Life 3s and outrageously obnoxious stuff submitted because it’s hilarious<\/em> or something.<\/p>\n “My friend and I learned the hard way. If you make a fake Greenlight project, prepare to get banned a week from community features,” reported Steam user Louie82Y<\/a>. “I’m not contesting this ban, but I wish I could just make fake projects for the hell of it. I made my second project visible to friends only as an inside joke, and it got banned in seconds.”<\/p>\n “I’ve already seen just in the last HOUR: two entries for Mass Effect 3, five various entries for Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Command and Conquer 1, every single Need for Speed game,” another Steam user complained later in the same thread<\/a>. “That’s not including patently offensive games that make fun of Africans, Indians, various pro\/anti American games [and] a game about 9\/11.”<\/p>\n The rules are simple, people – don’t be a dick.<\/p>\n Valve announces new Steam Greenlight for indie projects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSource: Eurogamer<\/a><\/h5>\n
