Quality control is not a good thing.

ET was at the tip of the crash because it helped shatter consumer confidence, which caused people to not want to buy games, and people to not want to invest in game development. If you haven't noticed, modern game development is based around finding ways to harvest enough money to make investments worthwhile, while also shaming people into playing games by insisting that their dislike of a game is because they're wrong in some manner. Until that situation changes, this modern video game industry is going to keep chugging along. Everything is deflating a bit, though, with the almost global failings of video game publishers, causing the stocks in almost every game company to drop universally, with some spectacularly losing value.

It should be a choice between curation, less curation, and no curation between different storefronts. People should have the option to buy from curated storefronts without devs feeling powerless.
Its better for the market if it wasn't all centralized under a single storefront because it doesn't have curation at any single point in time.
besides there are incredible disadvantages to that kind of platform
You spend so much time looking for good games, you will hardly ever find them or play them without the help of middlemen such as curators, e-celebs or 3rd party reviewers, and that will inadvertently give more power to them more than anything.
Legitimate devs can (and are) be drowned in a sea of shovelware, their talents never recognized because they weren't lucky enough to catch the eye of of a power middleman

To clarify: The market should be more competitive, period. The idea of an uncurated storefront is fine, but it shouldn't be the only real fucking option for the consumer, or the only financially feasible option for a developer.
The rest is just addressing big fucking problems with the uncurated storefront that are worth being taken into consideration.

Games like ET exist because it damn-near predated the internet, and no research could be deduced apart from friends. Just like most shovelware games, ET "profited" off a brand, no its own creativity. Steam having a platform for shovelware isn't a problem because of the wide range of information at your fingertips. This isn't the first time terrible games have been on Steam, and they gained notoriety for being bad. This isn't new.
Now that Steam has a more lax policy, its only common for shills to cry about quality control (like Jim Sterling and game journalists **and those in this thread). Complaining about shovelware is pointless, because their are countless terrible AAA titles, but because a small group of people decided to release a joke game, their is going to be another crash. That's why your comparison to ET doesn't even make sense, because that was cash grab against those who weren't aware enough, most likely children. Meanwhile, a game about Dabman isn't even remotely serious.
