[casual_games] Selling casual games on Steam

[Joe Schultz]

We've had some, but it was sketchy. To start, Valve contacted us in  
regards to getting our title Make Bouncy Bouncy up on Steam.

After preliminary term discussion over email we found agreement,  
progressed through NDA and set up a time for the meeting. Upon the day  
of the meeting, no word from Valve.

Following that, attempts to contact Valve received 0 response. Have  
sent follow-up mails every so often, even phoned Kirkland. That was 6  
months ago. Still don't know what happened there, we're left  
completely in the dark.


Prior to this my experience with Valve guys (Gabe, Randy etc.) is that  
they're simply awesome without fail, but this experience was dubious  
and confusing.

Maybe not the info you're after, but hope it helps someone.
