Well, according to this:

https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/articles/tips-for-getting-greenlit-on-steam-greenlight--gamedev-13938

Celsius Studios, creators of recently Greenlit game Drifter, posted some insight into the topic in a recent blog post. Among the myriad of other useful information listed in the post, the studio points out that, by their measures, approximately 16,000-17,000 votes are needed to crack the top 100, and 50,000 are needed to reach the top ten.

"The post also points out that the top 50 games only have a 60:40 ratio of yes-to-no votes. After doing a few simple calculations, it appears that about 28,000 total votes will be necessary for a good game to be accepted onto Steam."



Roughly 28,000 votes, but at least 16,000.

There is no way Warbirds got that many votes and they are on steam.  Something doesn't seem quite right, unless they got that many votes and only a few actually showed up to play.

It's not "set it stone", but it DOES greatly increase the chance of being green lit. :)

What I meant is for AH to have a very high chance of being green lit, it would want at least 16,000 votes.  28,000 and up would give it the highest chance.

Part of the problem that legitimate developers have with Greenlight on Steam is the inconsistency of the approval process.

It takes forever to log on and play a game in Steam. You have too many entry barriers and that is why I don't enjoy playing there. You cannot just respawn like we do in AH3. The download for War Thunder there was like 20 gigs for Steam and there was no effective interface for mapping controllers and keyboards. The game felt much different than AH3 and with external views and gun sights more like a cheap arcade game.

Because it IS a different game. And steam has nothing to do with that. Steam would be just another kind of gateway, a different door to enter AH. It would not impact respawns or anything. Absolutely the same gameplay.

This is true.

If you think War Thunder had a terrible interface, you should have tried to play it on a PlayStation 4 using the touch pad as a crude mouse. It was awful. Different game, though.

Having just tested it, it takes just over 9 seconds to launch an online game with a shortcut on the desktop and that is with Steam not currently running on my PC. Not sure why it takes you so long to get through Steam.

Aces High won't change, some will log in through Steam and some won't. It should not change any of the settings for the game, nor will it change anything but the community through new blood (you can decide if that is good or bad).

It will be a statistical bell curve.  Some new players will be bad.   Some will be great.  Most will be average/acceptable.  But if numbers increase there is really no downside overall.
