I hope the cycle continues as those greenlight page comments are pretty magical. Especially when none of these votes are transparent and are all hearsay.

Downvoted. It's not even a valid greenlight submission sooo...
lol, I pictured this as a headline on a spinning newspaper
If it's an "invalid submission", reporting it is probably more effective than a downvote.
There's no "cancelling out" to be done. The downvotes have never counted on Greenlight (well other than giving people a feeling of smug self-satisfaction). Only upvotes count.This is super lame, a game is not made by one person. I feel the need to upvote just to hopefully cancel one of the countless downvotes from people who have no clue about the game or developer and whose only goal is maliciousness.
Basically:
downvote = 0
upvote = +1
Cool, how do we do that?
What's the point of putting the game on green light if the game doesn't exist and they can't even afford to make it? It takes space away from the real games available. And I think I up voted this garbage just to get steam achievment since it was the first game on greenlit. What a mistake.

Click the flag that says Report is my guess.
The people who think an unfinished game is not allowed on the regular section of Greenlight haven't follow Greenlight, like at all. The only real difference between whether you chose Concepts or Games is whether or not you want to pay $100 to be in the regular section, and whether you want to risk the wrath of voters if you submit a really raw concept. Valve themselves care not at all.
Some of the games that Valve has accepted out of the Greenlight pool won't be seen for months if not years.
Well what do you know, that kinda makes sense!

I was going to mention this. Reporting this for not being complete probably won't do much. Ah well, like I said I'm still interested. Of course I also liked Too Human co-op (picked it up for $15) so maybe I'm the crazy one.

At what point does Precurser see Dyack as a liability and cut ties?
Given how well it's done so far, not fucking likely.
People who want it better hope Morons start coming around.
Well how is that working out for them so far? Cause last time I checked, they had to start a second campaign due to the first one not going anywhere.

lol not unless Dyack wins the lottery. The numbers so far are pitiful.
To anyone not up on all the previous pages, the reason you would be justified in reporting this listing is because it's not a valid greenlight submission. This is for actual finished or near finished games that are ready to go and want a shot to get listed on the store. These guys are not only going against the spirit of the place (indies) but they are going against the actual guidelines as well.
Note that the "concepts" section is seperate and that this listing is listed in the main games section, not the concepts section.
They are exploiting greenlight to market their kickstarter with no plans or ability to win it because they have nothing to sell if they did win it.
I can only go by their own rules. I didn't submit my own game to greenlight because I, oh, you know, checked the fucking rules and determined I wasn't eligible. Imagine doing such a thing.
edit: the vitriol that may be evident in my tone there was not directed towards you, in case it sounded that way. it was for SK
because this is GAF?
Who is Neogaf? Is it a person? No, there is plenty of people around here, all with different opinions which is why there is a war of words between people who support this game/this greenlight and people who don't. Neogaf is no one person and there is NO hive mind mentality because if there was, the entire thread would be similar/the same type of posts. But no, it isn't, it's actually a thread between people who don't support it and people who do regardless of the ratio of people.
Besides that, some people have the right to be skeptical, others have the right to vote "Yes" and support it. There is absolutely no need for childish arguments in here as it just makes everyone look bad.

Because everyone is hanging around bored waiting for the servers to crash tomorrow.
That particular aspect you're honing it on isn't a "rule". It's just a guideline / suggestion. The "Report" button is primarily for submissions where the person is a) submitting a game they don't own, or b) submitting racist / offensive / sexually explicit etc material.
But go ahead and Report and let us know what comes out of it.

This entire thread appears to be rampant bs. Act your age people. Damnnnnnn.
They sure make it sound like a rule rather than a suggestion, but fair enough. Maybe I'll submit something of my own to greenlight.
Normally I don't care about what people are up to and am not interested in narcing people out, but something about these SK guys and Dyack has rubbed me wrong, the Epic thing moreso than the others, (if you aren't up on this, it's shady as fuck, go look up the wiki page or something for details) and if I can nail them on a technicality then I'd be happy to. From my point of view they're just a bunch of liars and cheats, and maybe I could sorta forgive that if they made good games.. but, well, you know.
I think it's time for me to abort thread and bail out of here!
Good, now report them for using Epic's code in their engine.

Because it is stupid. A lot of people here wouldn't downvote the game if I weren't because of Dyack, not the game itself.
The amount of people who have joined from Gaf since the Dyack nonsense probably far out weight those who are left and voting down because of it.
Not supporting this thing because of how Too Human and X Men Destiny turned out when they actually had backing and decent size teams, is a mature and respectable thing to do if you don't have faith in such a small team.
Not everyone hates on Dyack just because of Neogaf history.
Bullshit. I wouldn't give money to anyone from Sk until they prove they could make a quality piece of Software regardless of Dyack. An 8 person team, making an Episodic game that is suppose to live up to ED and using Cry Engine 3 is crazy to me, doesn't matter what 8 people ar on the team.
As for Dyack, Precursor new or should have known exactly that this would happen, and they shouldn't/don't need some net White Knights defending them.
Poor choice of words... not the "morons" part, but "kick-started"
What I mean, or believe is; The game will be funded, regardless of the unnecessary levels of hate.
Whether the kick-starter programs works out, or a publisher sees potential in the game and supports it, or whether Nintendo themselves decides to rescue it for an exclusive. I believe this game WILL see the light of day, regardless of the campaign against it.
Feel free to call me out on it in the future.
(finally figured out how that damn multi-quote thing works)

You really expect a Company to pick this up with how poisoned it's been? Also if your so sure that Nintendo would do it, why would you care if a single person upvoted this? The moment Nintendo signed on to it this would be worthless for Precrusor and those who voted.
That trailer was very cool, what are the reasons I shouldn't want it?
I mean, is it the same team behind Too Human and X-Men Destiny? That would make me stay away from the Kickstarter, but still check it out in the future if a demo is released.
EDIT: Started to watch the gameplay demo, Edgar "Allen" Poe, is that correct? Honest question, I've learned Edgar "Allan" Poe and always thought that was correct since it was like that everywhere I saw, even the books I have, are both correct or something?

Only 8 people on the Project, so saying they are the Team Behind TH or XMD isn't really the right thing to say IMO.
Also the trailer would have been okay if they actually showed off some gameplay. Until that happens I can't see any reason anyone would want to give them money, so I can't fault people for not helping them.
Sure, of course, I don't help many other games, but I don't see the reason to downvote so far. Sure, there's the Dyack hate, but as you said, they're 8 guys who do what they love, not fair to try to sabotage their work just because of one of them.
Unless of course they're the team behind Too Human and X-Men Destiny, then I can understand why someone would really not want this game to even come true, even though it's still a bit too harsh imo

Kickstarters/crowdfundraisers are good ways to judge interest in a product. Why would a publisher pick up a product that so far has garnered so little interest?
Down voting isn't sabotage when it doesn't do anything.
Still I do hope it succeds for those who want it, don't like to see anything fail. I just find it weird after what has come out of the previous studio, the type of game it is, and that so many companies are moving away more and more from mid tier games that some honestly expect someone to swoop in and save this.
