Support Paranautical Activity on Kickstarter!
August 6, 2013 - Mike Maulbeck

You can find the Kickstarter campaign here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1125357480/paranautical-activity-old-school-fps-meets-rogueli

We love Paranautical Activity so much, we don’t want to stop making it! We’re deciding to let the community vote with their wallets to let us make Paranautical Activity all we ever dreamed and more.

With some proper funding, we’ll be able to add crazy amounts of content including weapons, items, enemies, room varieties, and more. As well as fun stuff like multiplayer and Oculus rift support!

Gabe Newell's lust for money outweighs (LOL HE'S FAT) his hurt feelings and Paranautical Activity is back in the store. Suck it haters, and good job Mike.

Sucks to be you guys. You were the underdog with everything going against you, and you had everyone routing for you. Then you make douchey choices (like making death threats to the very guy that holds your fate in his hands). Now nobody cares, your game will be lost to the obscurity of not being on Steam, and you'll probably never make another game ever again... I actually feel bad, because this game was really cool...

they need to change the steam game releasing policies so you can release the game anytime you wish

Are you guys gonna resubmit this without Mike?
Shipwreck Oct 24, 2014 @ 1:52pm 
Well, so much for them apples. I guess when you give death threats to the president of Valve, there just might be some repercussions...

@daowace

I believe they've been through a lot. But I also believe their behavior is and has been inexcusable. "I'm going to kill X" should /not/ be a publicly acceptable thing to say. Yeah saying "I'm going to kill X" in the heat of the moment is excusable. As a child. In private terms. But saying it as an adult who has a public reputation to keep up using a public service with a verified account is terrible and immature.

However, he has since resigned from Code Avarice. It is a mature thing to do that is in the best interest of the company. That's something I can commend him for.

The amount of absolute twats not understanding what the developer has been through with their game in relation to Steam is astounding.

So much ignorance. Do everyone a favor and stop being imbeciles:

But apparently Twitter death threats are serious business, even though we've all said we're going to kill something or someone dozens of times in our life. How many people have we killed? Oh, right, zero.

*sigh*

LOL this guy raised funds on Kickstarter to make THIS SHIT?! And THEN he has the guts/nerve to insult the head of Valve and make death threats!

Mike Maulbeck - go back to your blue-collar job and torment yourself no more with game making, you are too retarded and childlike to be a game developer (hey, you can always ask Phil Fish to be your buddy, you two have a lot in common.)
