You can start off with a basic uploader that just asks the item-maker to select a .zip file and a preview image, or you can build more validation into your submission path. For example, Team Fortress 2 started with just a submission form that asked the item author to pick a .zip file and preview image. But as we iterated on the process, we added a test environment and validation to make sure that the file that was submitted to the Workshop would be easier to integrate into the game. …

[h4]Business Model[/h4] Some key formats for monetization on mobile are not received very well by PC players. For instance, PC players seem less willing to put up with microtransaction configurations that hold back gameplay or progress unless you pay. We’ve seen some games that have had that kind of format on mobile switch to a premium model on PC where all the content is unlocked and unrestricted, which seems to work better. Where it makes sense, there are options on Steam to sell additional content as [doclink=store/application/dlc]DLC or expansions[/doclink] but the core game should be a full experience without requiring an additional purchase. …
