I'd rather decide for myself what I consider a good game, and what I consider garbage, rather than have that dictated by a random intern who has to sort through hundreds of applications every day, and somehow make a decision on all of them. There's a lot of niche single-developer games on Steam that woudn't be nowhere near as successful without Steam letting them in, and it's highly improbable that they would be let in in the first place.

Were you not on steam back then? Thats what steam greenlight was, the users voted on applications to sell on steam.
