And for some reason Salem landed in Steam Greenlight's software category, not in Games, which require 100$ entry fee.
Considered many other MM shenanigans which have surfaced in recent months I hold little faith in those promises and walls of text
If you really think that we saw almost 3,000 daily users without the mass infusion of funds then you sir are quite silly. I am quite sure I listed several places that we appeared as a featured ad, and we did indeed pay $100.00 to be listed in Steam Games Greenlight service. Their inability to handle any form of customer service request to have it moved has little bearing in measuring our efforts. Admittedly, we turned most the marketing off after 30 days due to simply poor returns (Post Production Accounts that we were spending upwards of $2.00 a user were spending on average 10% as much as veterans). While it is nice to know that we could spike the population to 3,000 daily users by simply throwing money at it, that chapter of our life is now over and we would much rather spend the same funds on content for those who are here than flashy ads for those who are not.
