So, Valve Pulled Paranautical Activity
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 1:07 am
Let's start with this before you read anything else. Forget the title for a moment.
I hate Valve.
They have an absolute monopoly and have the ability to literally play god with people's lives. And no one cares, they actually support it.
Because without it, PC Gaming is nothing.
Now, cue title.
Right, this is fucking retarded. I don't care what you say, about how it was "Unprofessional", HOW MANY FUCKING DEVELOPERS ARE PROFESSIONAL? WATCH INDIE GAME, IT PROVES MY POINT.
There was NO reason for Valve to be dicks because one of the million assholes on Twitter (Many people hate Gaben and also said the same thing probably) said "I'm going to kill Gabe Newell" because, you know. Gaben can't handle bad PR, the THOUGHT of losing more money, or other people using other platforms.
He does a lot of dodgy shit, has a FUCKING MONOPOLY on PC Gaming, and has the godlike power to shit on someone and ruin their lives. Just because.
It's fucking stupid.
And yes, I know there are other options. None of them will net you as many sales, none of them benefit your product as much as Steam. Steam decides whether your game lives or dies, and they KNOW IT.
What reason, in any logical human's mind, is there to PULL A GAME AND RUIN A COMPANY because some asshole got pissed because your system is shit and you refuse to fix it?
And yes, Steam continues to be a choice that only exists because it's where games are hosted and where most people will buy games. No matter how shit it is Steam will continue to exist until Valve pulls it and murders every game and prevents people from using their purchases.
Amazing isn't it?
And the dev who did it (Multiple devs mind you, so once EA's PR guy goes insane we can expect their games to get pulled as well, if they weren't already) returned to the company after contemplating leaving.

Those comments actually make me want to kill myself. I actually loaded a gun and prepared a noose as I read those shit comments.
It PROVES the vast majority of games don't care who makes video games. Mike wasn't a human until he fucked up (And got pissed thanks to Steam's shitty ability to handle anything, and rightfully so) so that people could look down on him because they are pretentious fucks.
I don't see how venting (EVERYONE'S DONE IT BEFORE) on any website thanks to a horrible service is childish and wrong. Face it. If it was your game you would be pissed that Steam fucked one thing or another up. We also don't know what happened during Mike's week (And if you do I don't believe you).
AND THEN people call him "Unprofessional" despite the fact he never CLAIMED to be professional in the first place.
So, there's that.
AND AFTER THAT people decided that his "Leaving" was a stunt (Psykers are you?) and he came back because it didn't work.
I'm actually curious about why people side with Valve on this. And NO ONE with a mind that isn't retard deep in "GABE IS GOD! ALL ELSE IS HERESY!" bullshit would be able to muster anything but a rickety defense to Valve.
No, they overreacted more then Code Avarice, which was one developer who was pissed thanks to Steam out of a few other developers, there's no reason for them to pull the game, which they paid money to get on Steam in the first place. Let alone develop.
