Is there an easy way to be notified of a greenlit game showing up in the store?

When I find an interesting game on Steam Greenlight, I always make sure to follow it. For some reason, I was under the impression that I would surely be notified in some manner when and if the projects I followed make it to the Steam store. Turns out I was quite wrong.

Seeing how its a shame for me to not notice when things I actually wanted to buy are available for buying, I was wondering if there is any way to receive such notifications in a manner that would be easy to notice (something akin to the emails I get when games on my wishlist go on sale comes to mind).

Best Answer

To my knowledge there is no such way to be notified when a specific game gets Greenlit. However, games on Greenlight are often approved in batches, so you may want to check the lists that come with each announcement.

One more thing: once a game has been greenlit, it doesn't come out immediately. Of the 454 Greenlit games on Steam right now, less than half have actually come out, so it may be a while before the game you're interested in actually comes on sale.

The reason for this is simple: Valve wants to remove the barrier between developers and their audience. In the current Greenlight economy, developers have to campaign for their products to get noticed before they're allowed on the storefront.

What is a greenlit game?

Once titles have received a required number of votes, Valve will determine if the title is appropriate for the service, and then start working with the developer to bring the game/software to the Steam digital marketplace. Once this stage is reached, the game is considered "Greenlit".
