Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

everyone here saying that valve are being 'unfair' please do the following:

next time you go to work, start ranting about how the company sucks and threaten to kill your boss.. if you are in school then start ranting about how the school sucks and threaten to kill the principal

see what happens.

This game was a piece of crap anyway, so no loss. I only bothered to install and play for an hour or so when it got cards, and that was long enough to never want to play it again. How delusional were they in thinking their "launch day" was somehow going to bring in a rush of sales? I probably paid the equivalent of $0.20 for this in some forgotten bundle. It's been on Steam for a while with few people ever playing it according to Steamcharts. Who cares that it's now arbitrarily declared "done" after dropping promised features?

The game was great and very well made and launch days are often the deciding factors for games that come out of early access. Launch days do bring in a rush of sales.

I tried to run it on my laptop back before the game was on Steam, and it was unplayable with a 4500mhd.

On topic, the dev made a lot of gamers angry at him, are we sure he really was the one behind the tweet?

The game can be pretty demanding to be honest

phil fish is a cool guy. please stop slandering his good name.

Well, this is somewhat similar to how, in Indie Game: The Movie, Phil Fish threatened to murder his ex-business partner several times. Except that wasn't on social media, and the ex-business partner wasn't Gabe Newell.

Or how Tommy Refenes was pissed that Super Meat Boy wasn't on the front page of XBLA. Except he didn't tweet that he wanted to kill the CEO of microsoft.

I wouldn't be surprised if mr spooder got arrested now. Death threats are a crime, after all.

No one would blame him for being pissed that things did not go smoothly with the release.

Most would even excuse him if he wrote, "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Gabe Newell!" or "Valve is a piece of ♥♥♥♥" or some other colourful insult on social media.

However, to allow that anger to manifest in the form of a death threat like that crosses a line that most, even when most pissed, would never cross. It is a line that cannot be crossed. As another poster wrote, he is a "loose cannon". He's unstable and unfit for civilized society so long as he maintains that kind of attitude.

Oh my... what a drama this morning.

He just needs to say sorry to Gaben and beg him to reinstate the game.

I just activated an old key of the game (inc w/ Humble Bundle Gamepedia) and it's now downloading. Curious to see what all the fuss is about...
