So email or call Valve and politely ask them to fix what was most likely just a database error and not something meant to be malicious. Problem solved.RetroMenace said:While, yes, the Dev was incredibly stupid by doing such a think people are glossing over what Valve did wrong.
While 'Don't send Death threats' is the obvious moral of the story, there's also the new moral that 'Valve always doesn't do good.' Like this guy for his comment or not the truth is that his game had JUST released out of early access after years of work, and Valve falsely advertised it as being still within early-access. And with how many people condone early access, that could be a huge hit to sales. Especially on the game's first day.
And to an indie dev, as opposed to a Triple A publisher, those sales mean a LOT. So yea, I won't defend the guy for posting stupid stuff online, but maybe we should recognize Valve isn't a saint in all this either?
Going to Twitter to throw a hissy fit was the absolute worst thing he could have done.
