I am curious as to how people perceive the green light voting process just as I am sure some others will be to. The thing being that while it says on the green light page "would you buy this game if it were available on steam", i am sure that a lot of people vote yes because they like the look of the game but never buy it.

I barely give out any yes votes because I'm trying to stay honest about the stuff I think I would actually buy.
Ive had a couple of my own games on greenlight and luckily for me it seems most people are a lot more loose with their yes votes

My intuition on how it is perceived is: "Do you like what you see? Yes or No?"

you should better go at a place that is not full of steam green light users for results
i generally vote when i see a polished product since my motivation is not to play a good gaem as much as support game entertainment developers that are competent

Like cobralad I vote yes if I think the game reaches a nice level of quality based on its video as you can usually tell when a game is well programmed/designed/feels nice. to be honest I never vote no, I just move on. I'm not sure if "no" votes even mean anything in the greenlight process

I generally vote yes if the game looks good. One of my big pet peeves with the system is that they don't notify you when games you've yes voted make it through and finally release.

I generally vote No unless a game stands out to me as a 'definitely-want'.
I've felt a little guilty voting for fellow TIGS member's games - and then wound up buying them when on sale, or even not at all.

But more realistically I remind myself that I've been gaming for over thirty years and whatever hot shit you youngsters think you're peddling, I'm pragmatic enough to sit around on my ass for it to be done right. Some of you have met this standard, and some of you have not, and I'm not going to sit in an open forum and say what meets what, imo.

You shouldn't feel guilty about that. Buying a game when it's on sale is doing more for someone than not buying it at all. Sales are supposed to move copies Smiley And with regards to not buying a game, whatev, if you're not interested you're not interested, or maybe you don't have the free cash. Nothing wrong there. And even if you don't buy a game, "yes" votes are still helpful to everyone involved if you think the product reaches an acceptable level of quality.

Voting yes on something doesn't mean you'd buy it for any price, just that you think the game is a nice enough package to be worth peoples' time, and you might buy it if the price is right and your budget permits.

maybe you would not buy it, but it would be nice to give it access to a store so other people would buy it

Since i dont buy many games these days, I treat "yes" to mean "this is quality and should exist." There's a lot of sloppy projects clogging greenlight so as a fellow dev I think those who put genuine effort and polish deserve a little leg up!
