Post by: andreasaspenberg on August 28, 2015, 11:18:17 AM
steam does offer free games so it should be possible.

Sorry to say it, but this won't be happening. This is a fan game, and we're likely not allowed to have it put onto Steam.

There's also nothing wrong with how the game currently starts up, neither would Steam improve it.

it would increase its availability because more people would find it.

While it's true more people would find it, we're not allowed to put MM8BDM on Steam as that would likely violate quite a few laws.

Steam Greenlight prevents submission of any content that is under copyright prior to the submission time. I'm pretty sure both Zandronum and most definitely Megaman fall under this category.

I mean it depends on the copyright in question but MM8BDM likely violates some form of copyright law and thus couldn't be placed on Steam even if we tried.

you could ask them about it at the very least.

Llama locked this for me, but let me give you some clarification.

This game is not going to Steam. I checked the guidelines about this before moving the topic to rejected.

Thank you for your suggestion, but in the future stop being so forceful with getting them accepted.
