Zack, gonna assume the policy read differently when you posted this, since you normally are a FUD writer, so just a heads up that the linked to policy currently reads: (bolding added by me)

What I think people are missing is that the policy indicates MODERATORS not Valve staff are approving Workshop items. If this is indeed something that’ll be rolling out platform-wide, there is zero chance (with the number of games that use the workshop heavily for player content - the Civs, all the Space…
I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it, though I only get it for chips. I will say that having it on a burrito vs chips is probably the better method of eating it since when it cools it becomes extra grainy and that typically happens about mid-way through the exercise of eating chips for me.
It’s not just Yelp you have to be careful of. Grubhub publishes these numbers AS the restaurant’s numbers whenever they get a chance entirely so they can pull this stunt.
I have to give No Man’s Sky props for being able to turn around what was such a disastrous release, they’ve really worked hard on improving the game and it shows.
I thought the entire article was about how the seed the puzzles are randomized on is determinante and thus not actually random.
Because the point of competitive speedruns is that they should be doable by any joe that hasn’t even played the game before?
Seriously. Let’s pretend that instead of publishing this info Sh2_luck had decided to be a speedrunner themselves. Is there ANYTHING indicating that them using the knowledge they had of the game…
1. Unless you have proof that his statements above are lies the information he received, he received LEGALLY.
“that sharing non-public information from a private company is totally a crime unless you can show the information is “of benefit to the greater public.”
A company doesn’t have a say in the matter unless the person distributing those leaks received them illegally i.e. via actual laws being broken. A company is not a judge, or a law enforcement officer, or a lawmaker. A company doesn’t decide what is allowed or not.
Until you can point to an actual law having been broken he’s done nothing that a thousands of journalists before him haven’t done in reporting on the truth. It may shock you, but “Corporate Policy” isn’t law and it isn’t binding to anyone who hasn’t actually agreed to being bound by it.
I’m not going to get into attempts at moving the goalposts. If you honestly can’t tell the difference between your “average” everyday conservative who isn’t a racist/sexist/fascist asshole and someone like Alex Jones, then it’s probably safe to say that you just need to look at where Alex is standing relative to you…
Regardless of whether you were offended by that joke, I feel sorry for you. Genuinely. Because you are such a perfect example of someone who is completely oblivious to the world around them and their impact on it. If only you weren’t so in love with yourself you’d might be perceived as a better person than you are…
The the FF franchise is pretty much the Saints Row of movies. It started out being a grim’ish’ real’ish’ drama and with each successive iteration getting more and more outlandish and disconnected from reality until the entire premise has painted itself into a corner from which it can’t escape.
As far as I am aware Valve is still wholey owned by Gabe and the remainder of Valve’s employees. Unlike a certain other company where 40% of its stock was purchased recently by the Chineses megacorp....
That’s an awful lot of words to say “Well in an industry with EA and Activision leading it, being a horrible company is par for the course, so you don’t have an excuse to complain”, especially when that’s exactly when it’s most important to complain.
Extra Extra! White libertarian male has suddenly discovered that being called bad things is hurtful when it happens to him after spending the past decade calling people bad things because they weren’t white libertarian males! Expects emotional support from all involved.
Really? Tell that to GOG. Or better yet, tell it to EA, or Ubisoft, or Blizzard, or Bethesda, or Activision. All of whom have managed to somehow establish and maintain digital storefronts selling their games during this time of ‘virtual monopoly’ on online PC game sales.
Not at all, I agree Steam needs competition. While I don’t own as many games on GOG as I do on Steam, that’s more due to the age of my Steam account and the amount of time GOG has been around. I’d love to have been able to include Epic into the mix. But I’m not going to as long as they behave the way they are.
