Ecosphere - Prologue

Ecosphere - Prologue is not a game, it's not even an E-book... it's an advertisement for an E-book. Now you might be asking, "Why does a crap, badly written E-book need an advertisement?" or "Is an advertisement, which is not a game, for a book, which is also not a game, a game?" And the answer is, of course, that it is not. I firmly believe that advertisements for E-books aren't games, and you should not waste your time with them. I cannot recommend e-books on Steam to gamers, because books are not games. I cannot recommend advertisements on Steam to gamers, because advertisements are not games. It's a common mistake when unfamiliar with Steam to launch demos/advertisements as full games on Steam instead of tagging them correctly as demos. Here's the instructions for putting a demo up on Steam, to demonstrate that there is a correct process for this, which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.
