The last 24 hours has been like a thunderstorm and a hurricane combined. At least if you have watched the comment section on Steam for Giant Spacekat´s action/adventure game “Revolution 60“.

Because if you´re familiar with Revolution 60 (the game got released to iOS back in July last year), then you know that Brianna Wu is the ringleader of that game (the creative mastermind).

Revolution 60 will soon be available via Steam.

And that alone makes the whole thing with “Revolution 60 get´s greenlit on Steam Greenlight” a rather controversal one.

Mainly because of four things:
1. A lot of Steam users accused Brianna Wu (and her crew) for a “up voting” scam on Steam Greenlight
2. Brianna Wu got on the nerves of one of the Steam moderators
3. Just the mere fact that Revolution 60 actually got greenlit on Steam Greenlight, makes the Steam people really, REALLY angry
4. Revolution 60 is said to have taken 4 years to develop at the total cost of $400,000. Like, are you kidding me?

Brianna Wu got into a “little” feud with an Steam moderator just recently.

But even so, i knew that there would be a lot of fuss over a Steam Greenlight campaign for “Revolution 60”. Why? Because people (of all races, genders and faiths) has disliked and commented on our “Revolution 60 – Gameplay Trailer” video, since the summer of 2013.

Oh well, make what you want out of it. But trust me on this, the drama show has just begun.

“Hey everyone! So, at long last, my team is done with the PC version of Revolution 60! There’s a lot to talk about with this new version. R60 iOS was designed top to bottom with the touch interface in mind. That tactic obviously doesn’t work with the PC. We studied one of my favorite Dreamcast games, Typing of the Dead – and took parts of that gameplay for this version.

The words you type will be evocative of the emotion you’re experiencing! For instance, if a character betrays you – you will be typing the word “Betrayal.” We also uprezed our textures and redid a lot of our lighting. This will be the best looking version of Revolution 60 yet! I expect a lot of people to down vote our game because they dislike Brianna Wu, the woman known for discussing women in the game industry. Your upvotes are really going to be critical. GSX thanks you all!” – Giant Spacekat
