Valve now requires developers to launch their game through the Steam client and run it for at least five minutes before submitting it for review, as part of several new additions to Steam's pre-release checklist. It doesn't have to be the developer playing, since anyone's playtime counts, as long...

Apparently, Valve keeps getting builds that were never run through Steam at all, which is how games end up with broken launch options or missing depots.

    You got me intrigued.
    Indie, the game type, you being in a workers cooperative, aiming for a long project and thorough development sound so good.
    I’m going to join the playtest!

    What’s the preferred way to provide feedback aside from Discord, which I don’t use.
