No more Greenlight, user figures and more leak from Valve’s developer conference

Greenlight, the programme that allows Indie developers to get their games onto Steam, will be phased out in the coming months. That, and many other juicy bits of news leaked out of the Steam Developer Days conference currently underway in Seattle.

Highlights include that Alienware’s Steam Machine will hit retail overseas in September 2014, gamers will be able to transfer money between Steam Wallets in 2014 and that talks from the event will eventually be made public.

This was only the first day of the conference; expect even more news to leak out of Seattle tomorrow.
