“Regardless of the Early Access label, the general Steam audience is simply not ready to see just how ugly games can be during development.” - Soren Johnson

I think most people are more upset about developers who abuse early access to make sure they have funding, or haphazardly just say “it’s finished” when there is…

I find the exchange hilarious, now considering all I see is a facebook pic of a private message, how easy is it to forge one? (yeah)

I want to begin by making it very clear: there is no excuse for threatening someone’s life, period. Also if you receive death threats you should contact the authorities immediately. The only way this problem will end is when these people start being charged with crimes and spend some time in jail. Unfortunately I’ve…

I’m treating it with Molyneux gloves. Whenever something sounds amazing, just remember Molyneux.

Now if only that Nigerian princess I met near Beantown Brewery would pay me back the million caps that I lent her.

No real reason. But what if someone not just looking for holes had named his game “Doom Beta Test”, and pretended to be Id. asking people to test out the multiplayer option. Then instead of installing a new game it encrypted your hard drive and gave you instructions on where to send $100 for the decrypt key?

Corrected this for you.

“I found a major flaw in your security that could allow for malicious games to be thrown on steam with no oversight. Not only that, But you ignored my attempts to contact you about it. So I exploited the flaw in a completely safe manner to get your attention. Brought the flaw to your attention…

Eh, he seems more honest than anything else. He could have easily caused absolute mayhem on Steam, and while not doing so doesn’t make him God’s gift to the world, he didn’t have to actually do any of it. Ultimately, this helps Steam, and it helps Steam gamers. He’s allowed to ask for a bit of acknowledgement. It’s…

How about when someone uses it to upload malicious code for the masses to consume? This isn’t just about getting lame not-games onto steam.

Yikes. You're still upset about Quiets clothing? You must be a JOY to go on a road trip with.

I’ve been thinking about how much I want to replay this game recently. Get out of my head Kotaku!

It’s the vocal minority of yiffers and the weird shit they promote and the fact that they seem to enjoy shoving their drivel under other people’s noses without their asking for it.

No, it’s not pretty bold and no the term gamer does not apply to anyone who plays games. It’s not elitism to denote the difference between people who play a small handful of titles casually, and those who play games are a primary hobby and devote more time and care to it. I’m not the one being elitist, you’re the one…

That’s a heinously simplified reduction of an argument that requires the nuance to be cogent.

what the developer defines as quality may not be what the consumer defines as quality.

........Was there any hype to begin with?

As someone who knows attorneys who only do document/contract review, I can tell you: A lawyer has to have some fun or they will go crazy.

It seems like getting your own bday wrong might be an immediate tipoff that you’re a spy, no matter how much else you know about your fictitious life.

I’m fairly certain nobody asked for this, but here we are: Luffy from One Piece gets turned into a lady for upcoming merch.
