I don't think they know how much is necessary, either. The Steam guys have said that the first couple of weeks for Greenlight would be very much trial and error, as they weren't sure how many people would be voting, and so on. In fact, they just implemented a $100 donation requirement to get a game posted on Greenlight (only for new listings), as too many people were abusing the system by posting games they didn't make.
Thanks all. Please all new buyers and members, do vote on greenlight 
We have 46% approval rating now, over 12,000 views, and 436 favorable votes. The important thing for us is not really to be "selected" by Steam (although we would appreciate that
) but to have a maximum of people view and speak about this game. This is a marketing tool of quality, so the more we have, the better for AGEOD.
Please spread the good words

Steam is already a consolisation of pc, as it makes the pc more like a macintosh.
The PC had win the war as computer for gamers people for it was more free than mac the locked, but Steam is adding its drm-lock to the pc games, although it's even not an OS.. Steam is removing the advantage of pc from macintosh.
DRMs follow the pc gaming consolisation scheme, hardware way (the need of the Gabbe server).

Your point is true, my point is the consolisation of pc as matters the gaming genres, ageod can promote the alternative genre that doesnt require a gamepad as essential (ala press A button to win) ....
I voted for it, but AJE is also being sold on Matrixgames, and I don't know of any games that are available on both sites. I have dozens of games from Steam and Matrixgames, as well as a few from other sites like Gamersgate and Gamestop, so I am not against any site. I have a slight preference for Steam, because one may uninstall and install the games as often as one wants without finding passwords, and the list of games I have bought are right on the screen whether or not they are installed. Matrix and other sites are fairly open about re-installing, but one has to jump through a few hoops if one has lost the registration information. And sometimes I am not sure where I bought an old game, or even if I bought it online, and there is no way with Matrix to see the list of games I bought before they changed the purchase system a couple of years ago. I haen't bought it yet (but have the demo), so if I buy soon it will probably have to be from Matrixgames because it may be some time before it appears on Steam (if it ever does)..

Be organized with a good external HD and don't buy DRMed games. On this HD make a folder for each game you buy, write on a txt file from what company and what is its registration code, save the install file and patch and mods etc. Without DRM, that's very easy AND free (you don't need anymore internet to install and play).
When there's a storm, remove the external HD... When holydays you can take the HD and install the games on any computer you want even when in a country without internet (remember before to keep back your saves at home): just beware about this HD.. (make it simple, not attractive)
You can even copy the registration txt files on a key (staying home, never loose it), so if you lose the HD, you still have what to DL again your games.
Freedom and responsability.

But, I'm not a fan of Steam at all, and I hope you guys continue to offer products independent of Digital content networks. Choosing Steam is fine, having major publishers putting out games ONLY on Steam drives me nuts. Bottle-necking industries is never a good idea.
I agree. I personally will be very reluctant to buy on Steam. One of the reasons being that you cannot sell a game that you have bought on Steam. They are killing the used-games market. I want to be able to sell something I own.
Secondly, I want to keep my games on a physical, independent support. What if Steam goes bankrupt, is sold, or decides to change its policies ? I want to be able to own and install my games without depending on a corporation, and without an internet connection.
Now, if STEAM sells me the complete install package + serial, and doesn't require an internet connection to install them, then ok, I'll buy on STEAM.
Having said this, AJE looks like another great game by AGEOD. I love being able to play several games with the same engine, without having to learn a new interface. Congratulations to the two Stéphanes and the two Philippes.

Well-said man. Would love to see an AGEOD game covering the Peloponessian War. That would be so cool. I would be willing to pay a lot for that one.
Yes AGEOD, I voted for AJE on Greenlight. I definitely want to give you guys as much incentive as possible to do more AJE scenarios.
