What do you think of Steam Direct?

Game success isn’t luck, and it’s far from impossible to predict how successful a game will be so long as you actually do your research prior to bringing your game to market. At the same time, success isn’t based on chance (with some rare exceptions), it’s usually the direct product of effort put into marketing a product that itself has sufficient effort put into it’s development.

I can refute that easily – See Duke Nukem 4. Years in production by big name(s); Massive budget; Name recognition; Total fail in the market place. Compare this with Goat Simulator which was done as a joke.
