Just chalk that up to Nintendo's stupid policy of keeping Japanese indie devs out, they will lose a really huge piece of the market for that.

Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	Just to repost what Ruris posted on the other thread: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171260210 Both The Last Phoenix and Shadow of the Eternals are on that list. :3 EDIT: I'm actually not quite sure myself and Fenix and I were talking about it the other day. From what I can tell, a game gets approved then I'd assume that either Valve covers the cost for getting it out on Steam and takes a percentage of the profits, or the devs pay them the money back in whatever profits are made, then keep the excess for themselves.

Steam Greenlight is pretty much a thing where people vote for games they'd like to see on Steam. That's it. There's no crowdfunding or anything, it's just there to measure consumer interest in games.

Part man...part beast...full psycho! Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	But how is the game funded? If the studio has a sample and needs money to go ahead with the game, how do they get the money to do it? We've seen projects that were previously on Kickstarter move over to Greenlight, especially if their funding fails, meaning they still need money to make the game.

Greenlight is mostly for developers to get feedback and criticism about their game before it actually gets released. Here's the FAQ for Steam Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/about/?appid=765&section=faq
