Topic: Why is your game not on Steam front page?

Ok seriously...Thief was on the steam front page "coming soon" for like 7 months.

Any other game out there gets plopped on the coming soon section on their front page when they get listed.  Grim Dawn did when they announced early access prior to launch...and they have like two developers...., hell even IOS ports get on there.

Right now on steam the only way you know this game exists is if you search directly for it, or have been perhaps following it from the obscure greenlight section it was in before...


Since its only two weeks before its steam launch, you need to do whatever the hell every other game on steam does did to get front page exposure....

and if for whatever reason the game doesn't get new release exposure when it does launch on steam expect a tiny, insignificant trickle of new players.  Front page access is how all those steamlings see when a new game is available.

Right now you are on steam and no one knows.  This is a problem.  Bat phone Gabe or something...if IOS ports can get steam front page exposure you guys should as well.

Call steam up, raise hell, demand your game be listed in the "coming soon" section and then demand a gurantee that when it is launched it goes into new releases...hell try to get on the banner part as well incase some shovelware dev dumps their back log or someone dumps 50 DLC on the same day.  Staying where you are now on steam isn't going to work.  Your steam forums should have several pages of redundant steamling threads about the game...and it has my thread (which zoom hijacked) and two recruit threads with no posts...no one knows you are there on steam...and this shouldn't be the case.

It is on the front page under the tab "coming soon". But they are ordered after date, so you have to look for the "next 10" until you get the tab for the 23rd of april. But its there.

I don't see any "coming soon" games in the front page carousel, if that's what you mean. Why would they be there? The only thing you can do with them is putting it on your wishlist. Maybe you confuse it with pre-purchase?

And yes, we are in the coming soon list, but still on the second page.
