    Just saw on /v/ that Steam Greenlight is getting a 100 dollar submission fee. I say it was about time they took care of those miserable submissions that buried the few games actually worth checking out.

    I don't mind a fee to deter fake and generally crap submissions, but I think $100 is too high. You're not paying to develop or distribute a game, you're paying to ask people if it should be distributed on Steam. Most will never make it.
