The quality of a game is completely detached from how much money a developer can shell out to valve.
This will do literally nothing to curb the onslaught of garbage that is getting on steam, unless they make the fee absurdly high, in which case it’ll just cause more harm than good for obvious reasons that I clearly don’t need to repeat since most of this thread, ambershee being the obvious exception, get.
If this was really about quality control, they would just hire someone to take an hour of their time each day and just look at the greenlight queue. It’s not hard to quickly identify trash that has had no effort at all effort put in, in most cases you can do it just by looking at the thumbnail alone.
