Just a quick update to let everyone know that I've added 4 new players to the NA server table since my last post, so everything's up to date right now :)
So I guess publishers who fund games should have no guarantee that the potentially millions of dollars they front for development will actually lead to a salable product?
The vast majority of indie games are not really funded by publishers. And Sony most certainly didn't fund LIMBO.
Relax guys, I'm pretty sure Valve still gets to decide things in the end; this is just a way for them to expand their "jury", so to speak. Valve gets sent hundreds of games per day and I'm pretty sure they can't play test every single one of them properly-- but this way they can see which, perhaps more obscure games, seem to interest the community the most. Also, indie developers get a bunch of play testers for free, which can only improve their final product and be a good thing for everyone in the end. Now, of course this can all go sideways, but that only time will tell. For now, it looks promising.
