On the positive side, I think what you're doing is great -- a large collection of cheaply available reusable assets would be a fantastic resource for developers, and I hope you're able to get it up and running. However...

...sorry if I'm just missing something obvious... but how exactly is there any controversy here? Steam is allowing non-game content... you're trying to launch non-game content... steam apparently don't disapprove of your content...

I don't really see any way that could be any LESS controversial, and I don't see how you're "causing trouble" by using Greenlight exactly as it's expected to be used...

[s]Is this actually just a shallow attempt to get us to visit (and hopefully support) your Greenlight campaign? For the record, we have absolutely no problem with you advertising and asking for support here if you use the correct forum, but we don't appreciate people being dishonest and trying to trick others into viewing things -- if that's what you're doing, I'd suggest you stop.[/s]


Oh, and moving you to our "Your Announcements" forum.

I think the OP is referring to some of the comments left by steam users, such as

It's good, but it's not a game. As far as I know Greenlight is only about games at the moment.

What Valve plans to do with Stem someday in the future with regards to software other than games is irrelevant now. More importantly, it's irrelevant here, where it's about submitting games. Reported.

Personally, I'm with jbadams, I think what you're doing is great, and utterly suited to greenlight.

Ah, I see, it does appear there has been some negative reaction from the community. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
