Speaking of Greenlight though, that's pretty much a scam in itself. Steam obviously doesn't have any quality control over the games they let through, but for some reason indie devs need to pay 100$ to be allowed into this run of the gauntlet popularity contest in the hopes of possibly getting let on to Steam.
Well, the 100$ cost is to prevent fake games being entered, or games being entered by someone else than the developers. Even for an indie development 100$ isn't that much of money, you're likely going to spend much more than that just on making the game, either directly or indirectly (coding instead of working a day job, etc).
However, it seems that there are quite a few games being entered on Greenlight that most probably would have got into Steam even without it. For example, Giana Sisters, which is a fantastic game, was added to Greenlight even though a game of its quality would have definitely got on Steam even through normal means.
