Just quick:
this whole thing is new to indies and vice verca, most of the customers here are used to very high standards, and steam just lowered the bar so serious indie developers can hop on if they wish to do so... we wont get every thing "as is" on steam and the bar wont be lower and that is a good thing, we have to work on our games to suit up, may take a bit of pimping just to make it solid.
Brilliant idea. Congratulations.
It seems to be that if a game isn't in a "popular" genre and if it isn't the standard 3D-Shoot-em-up, Racing game with the bestest-modern-graphics, or doesn't have "ZombieZzZzzLolzz", that chances are it will have some "Genre Prejudice" from a lot of Gamers out there.
I have received some posts that seemed to be obvious trolling, and even some personal insults and threats. Why? Well, I've not done nor said nothing wrong or bad to anyone, I haven't violated any rules and I do my best to be friendly and polite to people, so I can only guess some of those types of bad comments I've received are perhaps in part due to "Genre Prejudice", and perhaps in part due to some immature-jerks just being, well, immature-jerks ;)
However, I still feel that if you offer a quality product, have confidence in your work/game, know that it is functional and people would probably enjoy to play if they were actually willing to give it a try, then there's still a chance to gain interest and support from the Community.
Having our projects on Greenlight, even if they aren't among a "popular" genre of game, I still think it's a good way to connect with the gaming Community, to help get word of our projects out-there, and may yet lead to some good opportunites and success in time.
Remember, "You can please some of the people some of the time. But you can't please all of the people all of the time".
Just do your best, have a positive and professional attitude, smile, try to have a thick-skin (expect trolls & haters, but don't let it bring you down, and try not to bring yourself down to their level), and you just may find over time that you may indeed gain a good amount of positive interest and support in you and your projects.
Cheers! :)
