Jäsøn - Season I is not only a rip off of the Friday The 13th movies, it's also a complete rip off full stop and I advise everyone to steer clear of it.
Why? It's a text-file, and nothing more. It mentions it's going to be some sort of web-series, and that you will eventually get access to 13 episodes, but production on the first episode hasn't even begun yet.
The original video was removed, but here's the new one:
What is it supposed to be?
So, if you buy this, you're essentially buying a text document with promises of future content. They mention the first episode won't even be done until next year too, so that's a long time to be sitting on nothing but a text document.
I'm not above Steam having a video series in Early Access, as I think that's an interesting idea, but this is nothing. I've said it before, and I will say it again: Steam really needs to do some amount of curating. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

What is it supposed to be?
QuoteJäsøn is a satirical webserial about a wannabe serial killer, who never seriously kills anyone... intentionally.
It is a high concept, low budget, genre rich web series; bringing to light the ethical, moral & sociological threads that we tangle with every day in a world over-saturated with media violence. But this is no common & ubiquitous grim inspection. These themes are pulled at with sharp humour, clever observation, and an outlook towards the good that can be, rather than the bad that is.

My guess: Valve wants such cases to be handled by many many people using the refund option. Not a good approach for a business, but certainly community-driven.
It won't be long now, before Steam starts distributing viruses :/

Do they say anything about the format of the line endings, or the encoding?
The usage of 'ä' and 'ø' suggest that they might go with UTF-8; but some porting effort might be required for converting the \r\n's into \n's -- I wonder whether Feral would be up to such a task....

Quoting: liamdaweI've said it before, and I will say it again: Steam really needs to do some amount of curating.To emphasize that a little further, note what RPS had to say in regards to early access games littering the Steam store, consuming our precious bandwidth and seconds of our time scrolling through web pages:
Quoting: Graham Smith“Don’t launch in Early Access if you can’t afford to develop with very few or no sales.” I imagine that, if followed, this guideline would cut down on the number of games released through the service by about 95%.Couldn't have said it better myself.

If I don't misread this, these rules are not from Rock, Paper, Shotgun, but have been set by Valve.
Now developers only need to obey to them...

Right, my bad. The article talks about the updated policy changes Valve made for indie developers in response to early access projects dropping like flies.
That was written almost a year ago. Not much has changed since then - this game, or video, or whatever it is, is just another example.

I don't know who wrote those rules, but I think it is Valve since it's quoted.
I somewhat agree, some games are really cool where the developer obviously can't live off it. I wouldn't want them to vanish, but some level of curating needs to be done.
Valve added community curators, like our page, but it doesn't stop the problem at all.

Gabe has said several times he wants to remove green-light completely, so they are aiming at less curation, not more

As far as I know, this isn't a game. I passed by it when browsing through steam store yesterday looking for newer stuff. Teach yourselves to get the Linux + SteamOS filter out and then click the games filter. Then you don't get all this weird trash you didn't really ask for.
