   http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/ It's a tool for developers to get community support to get their game on steam. It isn't very interesting from a artist perspective, but it looks like a new place for indy games to try to get support.

   I think this is going to be a really great thing, especially for indie developers. It's definitely a great way to crowd source the submission process which is known to be bottlenecked and swamped with sub-par games. This way the best games should float to the top and get noticed.

   I'll be looking into this as soon as it's up and running. You can bet I'll try and get my game on there.

   I'm guessing after the Revelations 2012 fiasco, they've decided to give the community a more hands on approach on what should get voted on?
