Re:Sale pricing on Steam games: 50% off = 3000% increase in ... by ja2ke on Thursday February 19, 2009 @11:03PM (#488277)
Steam has a fair amount of suspicious games. Nowhere near the amount as the App Store since Steam isn't a self-publishing platform, you have to sign agreements with them and get an account rep and stuff.

Steam excels because it does a far better job than than the App Store of making sure that quality is always on the front page, while also making sure that the front page changes often. I think they have found a good meeting point between content/metrics-driven decisions and an editorial voice for picking what gets featured. The App Store, not so much.
