So you want to help struggling indie developers find a platform for their games, but you'll only allow games that are already successful? I like the idea at its core, but you seem to be shutting out the very people you say you built it for.

"We have 3 different things we look for in games:

1. Has it won awards? (IGF, IndieCade, etc.)

2. Is it highly-rated? (7/10 on Steam, Metacritic, etc.)

3. Was it just a runaway hit seller?"

I mean I guess it's meant to appeal to a hesitant future subscriber, but it rubs me the wrong way in how it's the opposite of the spark behind the idea.

If OP is reading, consider an alternate screening process. Like perhaps have a few curators who play through the games like professional reviewers and journalists do, and your platform could uncover overlooked gems stuck in the Steam noise. Which is what you set out to do as an indie developer yourself.

What was it like having to play a new character in the last season of Game of Thrones after being Jamie Lannister for seven years?
