AIR CONTROL - Steam Has Officially Shit Itself (Jim Sterling)

I'm pretty this entire thing is a troll to get people riled up. Probably used bots or something to greenlight it and now they're soaking up the tears.

I love how this guy's screenshots gallery is all just pictures of shit in Air Control with "???" as a description.

No, people actually voted for it as a joke. That's how the majority of these awful games get in, people think it would be funny to see them pass Greenlight. Then they complain that Steam's store is full of awful games.
I think he needed to restart the game before the other modes work. It froze the first time he went back to the menu then into the game so I assume the same was true of the other times

It's copypasta.
I'm surprised people haven't seen it before.
goddamn it i should make a shitty game for a joke so i can get loads emone
and make it ironic for dem laffs
I don't get why people buy these games when they're blatantly going to be shit from the screenshots etc.
You could remake this yourself, albeit more functional and maybe with funnier mechanics, in 2 weeks.

I'm guessing they're messing with each other by posting false quotes on their profiles.
Either that or they're fucked up.

Dear Valve,
Please shut down Greenlight immediately. Please check all games before making them available to purchase on Steam. If you take a game down for being bad, check it again when they resubmit it. Remember Earth 2066. Remember WarZ. Remember.
Thank you and best wishes,
Humanity.
Why isn't there an option to report a game for being "Low Quality"?
It wouldn't solve everything but allowing people to report the really bad games and get a someone from Steam to actually review them when they get so many reports and remove them if necessary would cleanup stuff like this..

if valve does that they better allow a 24 hour refund period or it will be complete bullshit.
Ok so i'm looking at that dude's screenshots of the game and there is one where it has like a gun thing and a future enviroment.
Are we so sure this game doesn't have some kind of hidden shit like one of those ironically bad games like The Fantastic game or something that Vinesauce plays? like this seems genuinely like one of those games but maybe the dev isn't that smart.\
Like whenever shit like this comes out I just guess that the developers are Andy Kaufman in game dev form or something.

You see, the problem with an "open market" is that it can be easily be exploited by idiots, con artists, and just general assholes.
An open, unregulated market is garbage and it just serves to highlight why Valve fails as a company.
We have seen this happen on Steam. What once was (and still is) the premiere service for PC users and the first thing a newcomer to the PC gaming scene sees. Yet it has become the PC equivalent of the Xbox Indie Market. A place for cheap troll titles made by either trolls or genuinely stupid individuals. The problem is, unlike Xbox's indie section, Steam PROUDLY displays this shit on the front page in the New Releases section. It is right there in the same market as everything else, not quarantined to Greenlight.
Valve has had this idea of total freedom in their management. The problem is that freedom is just plain bullshit. It is great in some areas, but total an unrestricted freedom -basically videogame anarchy- has proven to be a horrible thing. People need strong leaders and authority to guide them and give them shit to do, and to put them in line if necessary. As fascist as that sounds, no functioning society ever lived without a government, no game company ever lived without structured management, and no market ever lived without some kind of regulation and quality control.
It doesn't just apply to Steam. It applies to everything Valve does. Even the way they are structured (with employees being able to freely go from project to project unrestricted and with virtually no authority) has shown to be radically inefficient. Entire projects die just because the people working on them get bored. Valve's flagship franchise, Half-Life, hasn't had an installment in years because nobody there wants to work on it and there are no superiors around to force them too. Valve has become a joke, taking too long to provide too little. Now they are a joke on Greenlight, leaving the whole thing completely regulated by the community and thus letting the shit seep in.
I am tired of Valve. While I am not a big fan of the Nazi-like authority exhibited in some companies (*cough* EA *cough*) at least it is [I]efficient.[/I] And let us be honest, despite the fact that it has its own brand of shit in its own right, you wouldn't see this kind of shit fly on Origin.
it highlights why valve is so successful as a company - as a completely open market, the blame gets shifted to whoever had the nerve to upload it onto steam and either way valve gets those sweet royalty payments anyways
Alright guys it's settled. Who wants to start making shitty games with me to release on steam?
This sounds like it's a Somethingawful or /v/ troll project.
