The infernal Greenlight machine rolls on, devastating the environment and breaking hearts without missing a beat. It doesn’t care what gets in its way. It knows only one pursuit: middling-to-popular indie games. Its main fuel source? People. Well, their votes, anyway. And also some arcane fusion of press reviews, crowdfunding successes, sales on other platforms, angel dust, kitten tears, and a signed copy of The Who’s greatest hits album. But hey, I can’t fault the system’s invisible, probably mutant hand for selecting the likes of Galactic Princess, Ultimate General: Gettysburg, Hover: Revolt of Gamer, and Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries. The full 50-strong batch is below.

That is a list, sure as shoot. I’m from Texas, so I’m allowed to say things like, “sure as shoot.” Anyway, this batch is once again a soup of blah, bleh, and bl– hurrah! In addition to Galactic Princess and Ultimate General, standouts include hyper-customizable mech sim M.A.V., cel-shaded stealther Path of Shadows, low fantasy MMO Gloria Victis, and crashy crash driving game BeamNG.drive.

So, who’s pleased with these additions? And, more importantly because the Internet is for complaining, what did Valve miss this time around?
