So Steam Direct backfired again, can't say some of us didn't tell you so.

The $100 fee is clearly too low since there’s so many bad games making it through, the people making them are able to afford to pay $100 to get that stuff put through so it’s not stopping anything.

But–the solution isn’t to increase the entry fee, it’s to hire people to review each game submission. It’ll be cheaper than all of the development they’ve put in to try and cull games automatically and they could still charge a submission fee (whether it’s $100 or something else) to offset the cost of having to review the games.

I agree with this 100%
Sadly, until it happens, this is the only resolution, but, that wont happen either … so … at the end of the day, we have to wait for someone else to become the platform … that wont happen any time soon … so … . “it is what it is”
