Okay, so I read about this story about a video game that I thought was interesting.
So it starts out on Steam.
Steam is a video game marketplace, right?
And you can download Steam and through there you can buy video games to play and stuff.
It's a nice system.
I like Steam because it provides a sort of standardized way to get games.
See, before this, games for the PC were just all over the Internet.
There was no central place to go other than your local gameStop.
And you had no idea if the game you found on the Internet was legit or nothing.
It could have malware in it.
Or maybe it wasn't a complete game or some weird knockoff pirated version.
Steam saw this problem too.
And this is why they made the marketplace and they developed a three step process that all games must go through before they can be sold on Steam.
First is that you have to submit your Steam page, then you have to submit your game for review.
And then if those things are approved by Steam, you have the option to publish your game on their platform.
Yeah, well, someone looked at this and they were like, hmm, I wonder if I can get my game onto Steam without having to go through any of that process.
So they made the most boring game you can think of called watch paint dry.
And yes, in fact, if you downloaded and installed this game, all you do is sit there and watch paint dry.
Surely a game this stupid would be rejected by Steam.
Well, this game developer started going through the steps on how to get a game into Steam.
