How is Valve going to determine what is Steam supported (content delivery wise) and what isn't? What I mean is how high are the quality standards going to be? Obviously it would be illogical to throw every submitted mod onto the content servers, there would be thousands. That brings up my second question. Is there going to be a better method of organization besides just a games list? As the list of supported mods gets larger and larger, thats a lot more scrolling to do. I picture some kind of folder view with all the third party mods, following some kind of organization and filtering method. Would be neat to just filter in "Oh I want any single player only mods that were released from May 1st and forward" or something similar.
