Origins on Steam?
Posted: 02 Jun 2015 00:37
As a long time player of the Origins mod it has been a sore sight to say the least to see the community dwindle down to only a couple hundred players across all the servers. As someone who enjoyed being able to choose between more than two active servers that had people on them, I would very much like to see some sort of resurgence in the community. With the next major update fast approaching, this seems like it would be the perfect time to make this mod more accessible to the masses.
Going on the information provided by Steam Greenlight it seems to be possible to get it on Steam as long as you can get approval from Bohemia to use their engine for your game/mod. This seems like not only a great opportunity for the longevity of the mod, but it also seems like it would benefit all parties involved.

Directly from Steam:
My game is a mod – can I still submit it to Steam Greenlight?
Yes, you can submit your mod to Steam Greenlight, but in order to be launched on Steam you will need to have a full engine license in place for your game. If you have a Source Engine mod, you can learn more here. For other engines you will need to work with them directly.
I have a free game – can I still submit it to Steam Greenlight?
Yes, you can submit your free game to Steam Greenlight. Note that once your game has been Greenlit and you are preparing for release, any in-game transactions or subscriptions available to Steam customers must be purchasable only by the Steam Wallet.
