Some years ago, Valve created a different way of publishing, selling and buying games. They created the platform Steam. It was a very innovative system which allowed, thanks to the internet, the possibility of self-publishing, something very advantageous for smaller companies and indie developers.
Less than half a year ago, another innovative idea arose within Steam and so Greenlight was born. The idea of this tool was giving players the chance to choose the games they wanted to play in Steam. Some people can see this as an advante for Valve, instead of having their own resources validating and selecting games, they let users decide. While this might be true, many other people see it as an opportunity (specially developers) to access the platform with more ease.
Personally, I think the concept is very groundbreaking and many other communities will soon emulate Valve, once again.
