I hate to break this to you, but there are already dozens of visual novels on Steam.

Take a look at, say, Cherry Tree High: http://store.steampowered.com/app/214610/

Or, hey, if you want to find another "not-game" that is "arty" and made by a woman, try looking up Analogue: A Hate Story http://store.steampowered.com/app/209370/

For that matter, there are things that aren't games, but simple game design or music studio software on Steam.

In fact, there are outright movies on Steam.

So, no, notions of saying this "isn't game enough for Steam" are rather farcical.

The fact that you seemingly don't realize this just underlines how little it actually hurts you to have these games on Steam. (As well as underlines the inherent hypocrisy...)

As a matter of fact, no, that makes him one voice out of many thousands that voted, or if you're extending that to anyone who uses Steam, millions of voices that might matter. Just because I voted in an election doesn't mean I get to overthrow elected officials any time I want. Besides which, Greenlight doesn't let you "downvote" things for a reason - it doesn't matter how many people wouldn't play a game, only how many would.


Exception; these games have actually made an effort with self designed or created content. Unlike DQ which is just text and stock photos and the top. Its the equivalent of a school project.

Ban Reason:

Please review the Discussions Rules and Guidelines.

This is a permanent ban.
