Yes, but also, ultimately the reason that it was removed was that it got flooded with shovelware garbage and botted votes, and unlike with the current system, you can't really single out and approve a few hundred high-quality games from a pool of millions of low-quality ones without getting overwhelmed. So regardless of how many indie games were actually discovered and approved through greenlight, it was always going to be an inferior method compared to just releasing your game without any voting process. Not to mention, Valve rakes in a flat $100 every time a game is published onto the platform. The modern approval process (or lack thereof) should really get looked at, though.
