Unigen’s Superposition Benchmark has been pulled from Steam Greenlight after three months of extremely positive voting, with Valve stating benchmarks are not eligible for listing. Game engine maker Unigen has announced that its upcoming gaming benchmark, Superposition, will not be coming to Valve’s Steam platform, despite having enjoyed considerable success over the last three months it has been on the Greenlight list.
Launched as an easier way for developers to get their software up on Steam, Greenlight serves as a pre-release interest-check system: developers pay $100 to activate Greenlight on their accounts and then upload videos and screenshots of their upcoming games, with Steam users voting on whether or not they would be interested in seeing the game’s full release. With enough votes, a Greenlight package gets listed in Valve’s Steam storefront for real — but not everything is eligible for the process, as Unigine has discovered to its cost.
Unigine’s Superposition Benchmark hit the Greenlight platform three months ago, and by late December last year had received 1,787 positive votes — around 96 percent of all votes — making it one of the most popular items on the list.
