This is kind of unrelated, but does anyone else consider it a huge missed opportunity on Steam’s behalf that they keep achievements exclusive to games? I’d absolutely love to be rewarded for adding a sepia tone to an image in CameraBag 2. Maybe it’s just me.

This batch included, 50 titles have made it through the Greenlight gauntlet. If the roundness of that number bothers you, we recommend checking out some of our Greenlight Spotlights and voting on the ones that interest you.
