MS games on Greenlight?

Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to show Microsoft there's still a lot of interest for some of their older titles?

Ryz0n, can't you try to show people over there that a lot of gamers still like those games by uploading them to Greenlight?

I had to look this up on Wikipedia to figure out what Greenlight was, but that sounds like a great idea.

It's on the frontpage of Steam, no need to look it up on Wikipedia

Lol, I didn't look at the front page. I just googled Greenlight and found the Steam page, but I couldn't figure out what it was quickly enough to make it worth not just checking wikipedia.

It appears greenlight would be beneficial mostly for small developers who want to get their game on the service but don't might not have the publishing networks to do so. Historically publishers work directly with companies like Valve to get products on platforms, and I'm not sure greenlight would be applicable here. Its a cool service though.
