And "voting" favors developers/celebrities with userbases to flood the system. This was a well documented problem and many of the indie devs of the era complained. The influencers of the era could get anything greenlit. Amazing games like even frigging Mount&Blade were in an endless struggle. And let alone the truly new developers who just had a game and a dream.
Also: I am pretty sure you are just showing your ass, but people who make "furry hentai games" aren't inherently "pieces of shit". Valve 900% needs to improve the filters to let people who don't want to see it ignore it (Will Smith is basically the only person who knows how to hide it, it seems) but those games deserve to exist just as much as the latest call of duty.
Can you explain the Will Smith reference? I am unaware of any affiliation he has with Steam / Valve.
There is a steamer named Will Smith as well.
Oh, I see. Thank you for the information.
