Why does Steam have such poor quality control?

Every week it seems that some shitty pet project of a San Francisco hipster gets released on Steam. When will Valve get their shit together and implement some quality control on the store so the indie section isn't clogged with fecal matter?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Steam has quality control?

Why should they care? They've got the entire PC gaming market monopolized.

Valve just runs the marketplace, they're not publishing anything. They have zero obligation to ensure "quality control," except to avoid particularly fraudulent games like The War Z.

They use to be incredibly strict when it came to what games were allowed to be sold on steam back when they didn't have a monopoly on the market. Getting your game on steam was almost like having a gold seal of approval or something.

Huh... now that I think of it, that does sound familiar. Ancient history by now I guess.

Quality is subjective.

Quality is subjective.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who calls broken and unfinished games quality.

Barring outright scams, why the fuck should they care if you buy bad games?
