Forum access isn't tied to game availability in any way. He couldn't get rid of the hub even if he wanted to.

It's crazy how hard it seems to be for some people to think before posting or better yet just leave their PC/laptop for a while once they feel the meltdown coming.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Surprisingly, the business development team at Valve are a bunch of top notch people who can get things done super fast. I'd lay money on this being their handiwork.
Edit: Well sort of, I can't directly go to store page via link, but via the link on the official game group it still works (http://steamcommunity.com/games/250580)
Edit2: Nope, just stopped working lol.

Sadly this is closer to the truth at the moment.
Still can't believe after 3 year when HL2:EP2 had release.
People STILL thought that HL2:EP3 was a viable name.

Yup, let's blame Twitter for what people willingly choose to put on in public.
I dislike Twitter, but come on.

Their game just ended and he said "Yeah... I think I have to go..." lol
that moment when you are really enjoying a game, but you feel "yeah im just about ready for this to be over"
just hit that moment with Styx 14 hours in. Hopefully this is the last level/mission/whatever

I'm probably missing something, but what's wrong with the banner?
I doubt a "but it was just a heat of the moment thing guys, I didn't mean it" defense will help him, if he wants to try to salvage this.
What his meltdown did went so far beyond burning bridges it's not funny...
Sadly this is closer to the truth at the moment.
With the resounding success of microtransactions in their multiplayer focused titles and Gabe's own antipathy toward single player experiences, I don't think Valve has any interest in developing a sequel.

It was the "wrong" image.

I feel this way with a lot of games sadly.

Figuratively speaking I hope?
And this is only the base game: I completed this game a long time ago, before this Director's Cut got released for free.
I'm more of a completionist and never rush games, so I would say the average person will get 4 to 5 hours out of it (base game).

I guess he was mad because the banner said Early Access, while the game was in fact out of EA.
The original banner still advertised it as an Early Access title when it had actually moved into a standard release.
I can't beleive that after owning both Ep1 & 2 for years and on my old and current Steam accounts never played them. I'll get to it some day.
I logged into a twitter account I was following him on a while back and must have caught Kamiya happy hour as every single item in my feed was from him. Every tweet Yo Momma! jibes or links to what he had said in the past (some times links, to links, to links of what he had posted ages ago). But I live in hope that something cracking will turn up again. When someone asks him a decent question and sensibly he does give some great insight, sadly that doesn't happen very often at all.
I think it's got to the point now that Half-Life 3 would have to be the greatest game ever made and then some not to disappoint.
They were talking about the Alien DLCFiguratively speaking I hope?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Also there is literally no reason Steam needs to care or tolerate this from the guy.

Should have clarified.
Alien Isolation has a DLC called Lone Survivor
Oh, I agree.
Just saying.
The text below it still said 'early access'.
That's it.

That's what I figured, but isn't the developer responsible for that?
Edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize the Early Access text was baked into the image.
1) His game was in early access and he wanted to release the game (ie: get out of early access) during the weekend, Steam told him that they don't do game releases on Weekends
2) he complied and "released" his game today
3) Steam Front page banner (arguably, the moment a game makes most of it's money) says "Now on Early Access:" when it should have said "newly released".
4) He goes insane, accusing Valve of stealing money from him (because people won't buy a game that's on Early Access, but they would clearly buy the game if Steam had classified it properly on the Front Page Banner)
5) Complains that they'll only fix it tomorrow, when the game will have already vanished from the front page
6) Complains publically on multiple tweets about the whole thing, says Steam is terrible, hates their market "dominance", threatens to kill Gabe, deletes the death treat tweet.
7) Goes to play and Stream Killing Floor on Twitch.
8) Apparently, Valve/Steam removes his "developer" status and removes his game from the Store.

Welp. PA no longer on steam. I'm done making videogames now. It sucked while it lasted.

When did he threaten to off Gabe?
Indeed. If anything, it lets those people realize that their bullshit will spread way faster if they don't watch what they say.
Anyway, I should be going now. Got a Rick Wakeman concert to attend to in 30 minutes, he'll be playing Journey to the Centre of the Earth entirely and it's gonna be awesome. Hoping to see how this story unfolds afterwards.

This feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone, where Phil Fish was reincarnated before he died.
I just don't understand. You supposedly hate Steam, and yet when they take action against you you just pack up and go "well, it sucked anyway. I'm out."
what's going on here? new thread, utter chaos, death threads, multiple wrong banners, unrelated picks.
And bears are still available and perfectly fine, combat bears that is.
you know that bears like fish? just a thought... or suggestion, depends how you look at it.

Because some text on the front page still said "in early access" instead of "on sale"
There are less than two hours between his tweet complaining about the Early Access mention and the German user saying that the text had been changed to "Now available on Steam". If only he'd kept a level head.
They were talking about the Alien DLC
lmao!
Sorry haha. Lone Survivor is also in the currently running Humble Flash Bundle so I thought it was about that game.
The Alien Isolation devs should get sued! absolutely_disgusting.jpg

Imagine if Steams CS worked this fast...

R of my previous post:Game was in early access, dev released the game from early access to final game, Steam front page banner marketing the game says the game just entered into early access, developer goes crazy thinking people would buy the game if the banner said "New Release" instead of "Now Available in Early Access" when, in reality, his game is nothing but Indie Bundle material.
Hilarity ensues
i assume main release was today and someone, maybe he, forgot to tag it as such to remove the early access banner, or it was a steam derp

wouldn't it get put back to the front when the early access tag changes to New Release?
