After years of faithful game service, Steam is taking a more customer-oriented approach with its launch of the Steam Greenlight program. Designed to give customers a say in which games are released through the digital distribution software, what publisher wouldn’t want to take advantage of the opportunity and submit their game on the list of candidates for customers to choose from? Reverb Publishing has already announced that it will be placing five of its titles on Steam Greenlight.
Reverb Publishing’s primary goal is to help independent game developers get their projects off the ground. By providing the resources not offered by the traditional publishers out there, Reverb Publishing allows indie developers to focus on making quality games. So, there’s no surprise that the publisher is utilizing Steam Greenlight to accomplish its mission.
“With so many successes happening throughout the online gaming industry, we believe that the independent developers need the right experience and resources to ensure that their games get in front of the gamers while also ensuring these developers make a profit,” commented Doug Kennedy, President and CEO at Reverb Publishing. “Reverb brings a passion and level of expertise to the indie teams we partner with and enables them to reap dividends from our services. We also believe that Steam Greenlight is yet another step toward a level playing field for independent developers to get their games well-deserved attention.”
Steam Greenlight is a brand new system that calls for the consumer’s opinion in picking some of the games released on Steam. By posting information, screenshots, and videos, developers can gain the consumer support needed to put their games up for distribution in Steam’s shops. Steam Greenlight also serves as a place where potential customers can submit feedback to developers about their game.
