Hoodedice Why do you never reply to my messages on Steam? Am I THAT annoying?
With Minetest in the mix, steamers will RUSH to play a free to play game that isn't total shit =PĮDIT: Found this GPLv3 game trying to get greenlighted onto Steam Lastly, Most f2p games on steam are shitty MMOs. When games that seem like they can't get mods, like CS:GO, has an active modding community, and all they do is MAKE GUN SKINS, what feedback can you get from them with a game where everything is open? Onpon4, neuro is not wrong when he states that development on the modding side will increase with steam integration. Do we have enough development resources to integrate a proper working Steam API inside our source code? However, the kink I see is not that, but with the Steam API. I am ready to contribute some amount of money towards greenlighting too, and I know that the community will contribute some money too. When I saw the $100 tag, I wasn't taken back. TBH, I did my homework on getting Minetest greenlighted too. But do understand that steam has been digging into open source lately (even though its business practice is of a restrictive nature) with their SteamOS.
Ok, I do understand the community hostility towards steam as a platform. I'd contribute $30 of that to see Minetest on Why do you never reply to my messages on Steam? Am I THAT annoying? It cost's $100 to get on steam greenlight (although I heard that is going away). There aren't a ton of free games on steam, but those that are on there are extremely popular. I argue that Minetest would grow to something far greater than Minecraft *if* it goes to steam.
Millions of people would download it and start contributing Mods and ideas on a scale that Minetest will never see if it doesn't go on steam. If Minetest were on steam, it would have a huge leg up on Minecraft. Steam workshop makes it easy for millions of people to contribute and use mods for your game.
Steam makes it easy for millions of people to see your game. There is a simple reason why this is true. The thing is that Garry's Mod has many more mods, and the quality of these Mods far surpass what is in Minetest. It isn't the game itself that is fun, it is the vastness of the Mods that pretty much allow you to do anything in the game. What make's Garry's Mod better than all the rest is also what makes Minetest (and Minecraft) great. That changed when I started playing Garry's Mod. For the longest time, I thought Minetest was the greatest game of all time.
