Now looking into GoG as a potential distrubtion method.
Shame, would've been nice for others to get the chance to play it and I'dve thought it'd fit into the Steam library nicely.

Aww. I really like it on 3DS...

Well... that's odd. I don't know if it measures up to something like VVVVVV, but it at least shares a similar theory of aesthetic, and that's a very "Steam" game in my mind.

They do it all the time and the worst part is that they never give a reason.
competes with a valve game

I think is time for them to improve the system, they obviously can do whatever they want, but at the end of the day, is bad for the consumer.
We have seen good games rejected, and also a lot of garbage accepted.
I don't get it either.
Dark Void Zero is on Steam, and that game was originally a DSiWare title. I own Mutant Mudds on 3DS eShop, but I would support the PC version too.
Hopefully the guys at Steam would reconsider because I <3 their service, and I asked Jools personally to put the game on there.

How could any game be more rejectable than Binding of Isaac? If that game gets accepted, no game should be rejected.
Clearly Mutant Mudds just can't hold up to the polish or feature set of such titular titles as "Revelations 2012"

Baffling. What exactly is their criteria for rejecting games?
Valve doesn't have to do what is good for the consumer, they have to do what is best for publishers, developers and consumers.

I do find it a bit amusing that they seem to reject certain adventure games. It makes me wonder if any of these Kickstarter adventure games will even make it onto Steam.
For developers, they should be more transparent though.

Steam rejects plenty of games.

That comes from Capcom, i guess the selection process is different, i would say that there is no selection at all for games from publishers, they just do it. Not the same with indies.
They do it all the time, and they give you a vague reason or no explanation at all. Usually if they give you anything, it's the "Steam userbase would not buy this game".
Steam needs some sort of peer/crowd approval process for very small indie games. They could have 3 slots a month and the community (weighted by number of purchases, influence, hours spend on steam library etc) could upvote them with $0.50 tokens or some other small incentive that prevents voting fraud like limiting free tokens to a fixed number per quarter for verified accounts.
Revelations has way more entertainment value for the price, guaranfuckingteed.
Sure, but they are a company that always talks about service to the consumer first... sometimes that are just words of course.
Revelations 2012 is a Source Engine Game, which gives it a pass onto Steam.
I really want an official response why Revelations 2012 got on Steam, and other so many quality games don't. I suspect the answer is because it's a Source game. It makes you wonder why these rejected developers ain't rewriting their code in Source then.
Here is a video that will make you go WTF http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzTo6XUiIA4&feature=g-u-u its TotalBiscuit when he is mad.
Also Gamespot gave it a 1.5 out of 10.
Or, people just need to realize that buying games on places other than Steam like direct from websites, Desura and others works well, too.
And you can buy music outside of iTunes. But your songs sell a whole lot better and get a lot more attention when they are offered on the service of the market leader.
It's possible he just presented it incorrectly or something odd went wrong.
There was a story not too long ago about a guy getting rejected then going back again with a better plan. He got it accepted after the second meeting.
It's possible he just needs to go back. He *should* have a rough idea as to why it was rejected. There's no reason to stop trying.

I hope it does get on GOG, they're better than Steam anyway.
I believe there is an interview floating around with someone from Wadjet Eye Games talking briefly about the application process, and why it took multiple times for something like The Blackwell Bundle compilation to appear on Steam, despite Gemini Rue appearing on the store prior. A lot of it had to do with doing the application "right" i.e. video references, a good description, etc.
Basically it seemed similar to sending a manuscript to a publisher. Unless it was a full application with all the good points inserted, there was no reason for the viewer to press accept and they had no obligation at telling you where you went wrong.
I'd try to find the interview but I am slightly inebriated and lazy.
This is another interview that came to mind. Thank you.

They are not ever going to accept every game that might be interesting, I'm sure they reject far more games than they accept, and the idea that you or anyone else can only buy PC games on Steam and Steam alone is the problem, not them.

If a rejectable game pushes 700k sales, every game should push 700k sales!
Maybe if Renegade Kid recreates Maximillian and the Rise of Mutant Mudds with Source engine, only then they'd accept it.

God I loved the original idea.
I loved the 3DS game too until I realised it was hard as all fuck and there was some odd design choices which made the game harder then it should be.
