Seriously, what was on his mind? Did he think it would go unnoticed?

Bout time. Death threats are assault and should be taken seriously, investigated and prosecuted. However, economic retaliation may be just as good in this case. :/

Not really that much to discuss on this topic is there? Death threat, consequences.

 

Most people would know that stuff like this would happen. In the case they didn't before, they do now.

 

Moving on.

Dumb guy is dumb. Whines a lot and generally looks like a dick. No loss for us.

Threatening to kill people has always been a good business tactic, hasnt it?

Well, another employee of the company tweeted this https://twitter.com/Vallisca3x3x3/status/524591281725800449 so i kinda feel sorry for him.

I guess he was... letting off some steam.

 

I've never heard of these people before, but it doesn't take many clicks to find it's not an isolated incident.

I bet this is gonna grant a boost in sales on the other channels tho.

Dumb move, but take also in consideration how stressful it is to develop an indie game, small team, and being pushed around. I mean most of you guys work on sure-to-come-out stuff. Steam is notorious as well for this sort of fuck ups, and frankly can't understand how they happen in the first place, so many.

I remember reading of them when they had the green light mixup.

Well, I understand he could get mad because delays or the pic chosen... but cm'on, that's not something you'd discuss publicly on twitter, and even less make rage threats like a teenager.

Yeah, but if you got power. If you've made not even a single sale it is plain stupid, you just lost your place in the best videogame selling platform.

It seems like they are just a pair of plonkers

At the time I read the news, he said he had sold 12 copies without steam, I guess its not really helping.

He was really stupid anyways, you can rage as much as you want as long as you dont make it public.

*making mental note for getting SDK items published*
