Any publicity is good publicity! Except when your product is no longer available.

No way, haven't you learned anything from the Wii? Or that one South Park episode?

I'm not sure if the Phil Fish approach to marketing applies if you actually threaten to murder someone.

I didn't see that I guess.

This:

Welp.
I don't know if this guy shouldn't use Twitter anymore or if I'm the weirdo for not writing death threats on Twitter nowadays.

Jesus Christ. There are no words.

Oh, awesome! Just found out Paranautical Activity doesn't have multiplayer, and that it wont be getting it... Despite it being a promised feature on their storepage last time I checked it, less than two months ago. It's the only reason I bought the fucking thing... Jeez. >_<'

He is going to kill gabe to death? Someone call Shirou Emiya.

But seriously, damn. And I think I might own this game as well.

This guy will be going places. I guarantee it.

The name Mike Murderbeck isn't doing him any favors right now.

this was known for much longer than two months if you looked at any of the reviews or forum topics bitching about it

note: multiplayer/coop was a kickstarter goal too apparently...

This is a bit old, but I didn't see it here so Legend of Korra will only feature resolution changes for graphics options

How generous, I only need brightness settings in mah games.

Well you can take solace in the fact that you now own an unlisted game.

Spoiler

I guess.

So glad I chose not to pick up his game when I was tempted.

 

[Ozium]

Just remember, according to aku:jiki, Paranautical Activity is definitively better than Bayonetta 2.

 

[Casimir]

Well sure, but that's too obvious a game to post about :+.

All is well then.

Is there a mirror to that second-last tweet? Or someone who remembers what it says?

"I am going to kill gabe newell.
He is going to die."

Is that thread worthy btw, or rather not bother with it?

Somebody did us already the favour.

He's gonna murder Beck too? What did Beck do?

 

[gngf123]

Probably thread worthy, although some might say he doesn't deserve the attention.

 

[Miguel81]

Don't threaten a man who forges his own weapons!

Okay, the Early Access thing I can understand, but the banner?

 

[Ozium]

do it. everyone loves a good meltdown

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Never forget the second Kickstarter. That's a good reason I suppose

 

[Volimar]

New thread early made me scared and confused!

 

[Grief.exe]

The ironic thing is, the game is on the front page and would have garnered customers.

Anyone looking into a purchase would likely peruse the store page anyways and find out the banner was incorrect. Sure, he is likely losing some customers, but Valve would likely fix the issue and he could request a longer promotional period.

 

[Braag]

This is a bit old, but I didn't see it here so Legend of Korra will only feature resolution changes for graphics options

Well that's more than what Square gave us.

 

[Fox318]

Don't threaten a man who forges his own weapons!

By the time he is finished making them you could have read war and peace 3 times.

 

[alr1ght]

He probably wants the attention now.

Holy shit is this real? Did he actually do this? And say that?

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I need a link to a video or something.

Edit: Never mind I found it by googling "gabe newell forging steel". Lol.

 

[CosmicQueso]

This nonsense associated with this industry is toxic and makes the whole thing very unappealing these days.

 

[Grief.exe]

Now:

That also means he can't push through an update that could potentially sabotage the game.

 

[Deitus]

Beck asked for it. He literally sang "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?"

 

[Chariot]

It was part of a Kickstarter video. I think for CLANG?

Yes, that's what he said.

Yeah it was from the (now failed) kickstarter pitch video for CLANG.

Did Steam... remove the game?

It was kinda an easter egg in the kickstarter video for "Clang"

 

[jblank83]

It's delisted. You can't buy it.

Anyone who has it will keep it, though.

Cheers guys. Although I googled "Gabe newel forging steel" right after I posted that and the video came up LOL.

Man, the look Gabe gives him.

That guy is a moron, jesus christ.

I thought the thing he was mad about was the terrible art, took me a second to see the Early Acsess descrpency.
