>cuss like a sailor while representing game
>issue death threats against publisher

valve should screen indie devs in a more comprehensive fashion so that dumbass/unreliable devs don't get their games listed at all.

>>268617419
That describes everyone who has a Twitter. By virtue of having an account you will have a public bitchfit. There's no benefit to subscribe to an idiotic service like that, it can only harm you.

Did the saps who bought it get their money back, at least?

>>268617247
It's not that bad. It's not very good, though. Guy probably didn't deserve this given that Steam fucked up his game's launch... but he was being a little bitch about it. The other devs working on the project have also lost their game despite the fact that they had nothing to do with this sperg's outburst.

I wouldn't be saying that if Gabe did this shit all the time. Good thing he doesn't.

>>268617868
Steam labelled the game as early access when it was the game's launch, which I assume would put a hole in the profits since it's the only time it'll be on the front page like that. Guy got really mad and started shitting on Steam in his twitter until he finally said that he'd kill Gaben. Valve took it seriously and removed his game/ceased relations with him.

Kotaku actually isn't stepping into defend anyone in this story. If anything they're clearly defending Valve by saying that this dumb Murderbeck tool is indeed a dumb tool for being an asshole to a business parter.

why are indie developers literally the worst people on the planet

Radioshack is looking to file for bankruptcy and liquidation is a possibility. Keep looking baby boy.

>>268618180
Do people not realize that websites don't instantly update? There are so many databases and servers that need to be contacted and authenticated before something like that goes through. How did this guy manage to make a game?

>>268618053
does radioshack even exist anymore

>>268618180
>Valve took it seriously
I doubt Valve thought the guy was serious. It's more that the guy is so unbelievably unprofessional that they don't want to do business with him.

>>268617550
Steam used to be like the fucking big leagues. If you could get your indie game listed, that was it, you made it.

Now the early access program churns out a dozen rpgmaker games, shitty "ironic simulators", and retro pixel platformers with deep messages every week.

Not like it wouldn't have been put back up fixed after if he'd simply pointed out the error and been professional to work with.

Haha holy shit, I have the game from some humble bundle but never played it. Time to get some cards.

I don't use Twitter, but it seems a lot of people that use it don't act like people that realize they're putting their names to some really stupid comments.

Valve's Doug Lombardi confirmed the news to Polygon. "Yes, we have removed the game's sales page and ceased relations with the developer after he threatened to kill one of our employees."

Sounds like they took it seriously. Probably both, though.

>>268618373
They're still around, not nearly as many as there used to be, but there are a few here and there.

>>268616304
Now the indie cabal and their puppet mouthpiece are trying to spin this up. Let's hope Valve will hold its ground. Even if they were in the wrong ( I don't say theay are) backing up makes you look weak.

>>268618325
Because, in general, you only notice the occasional awful people and the occasional great people and then try to generalize based on a recent set of instances you've noticed an indie dev. Like notice how your view would imply that id was composed of the worst people on the planet.

You know, if you worked this hard to get your game on steam, why in the EVERLOVING FUCK would you make a death threat on twitter/facebook/etc, even in a joking manner?

The thing I love most about this is he had a banner on steam.

You don't just GET a banner on steam. He was REALLY privileged to even fucking get that. I know SEVERAL people on steam and the only moderately successful person has had a banned on the steam frontpage.

What an entitled fuckwit.

Indie developers think they're some kind of antidote for the poison that is killing the vidya industry. They take on a messiah complex and assume that their word is gospel when it comes to game design.

If someone does anything to slight their product, they instantly fly into a fit of rage and begin talking down to the offender like they're a piece of human trash.

In reality they're just a greedy and lazy as the AAA devs they claim to be fighting, with a personality complex to boot.

Their first response to any kind of criticism is to back into a corner and begin screaming "let's see YOU do any better."

Fuck those cunts.

AAA devs are greedy fucks, but unlike indie devs, they usually at least try and polish their games and patch them.

I'd feel more sorry for him if he didn't fly off the handle over something as minor as having his game marked as early access.

Shit like that could be sorted with a private email to Valve going something along the lines of:

"Dear Valve [or a personal name if provided],

Thank you for putting my game (Paranautical Activity) on Steam. However, I have noticed that my game has been labeled as Early Access. I'd just like to clarify that the game is in a publishable state so it isn't in Early Access now.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any issues,

Cheers,
Mark Murderbeck"

As opposed to flying into a fit of rage on a public social media site and threatening to kill the head of the company.

He has the right to be angry... I guess. But the way he acted was just retarded and if he's going to act like that to such a minor thing, he deserves to have his career nipped in the bud.

Where do all these indie "devs" that make games on some WYSISWYG editor or rpg maker shit while being such attention whores come from?

When i think about a real indie dev, i think about the dude that made Banished. He made the whole game from scratch by himself, and he has 0 drama. His blog is technical and informative.

>>268618614
It's clear he understands how valuable Steam is given his obscurity as a developer. Why the fuck did he decide to go nuclear against them?

As much as I want to say he got what he deserved, I can't help but shake the fact that the decision was personal mixing with business.

Philip Poisson II: Fish Harder?

Come on Gabe.

Gabe should his bluff. Challenge him to a cage match in international waters. Gabe could actually make that happen. It would be nothing for him to rent a boat and buy or rent a ring and cage ect. Hell he could just buy a boat and name it after the dude's mom. He's rich as hell and large enough that almost no ground based predator would even consider fucking with him, some unnamed 20 year old kid has no chance in hell.

He could sell it on ppv on Steam. Millions upon millions of people would pay to watch a death match. And they'd want more.

Gabe is in a position to bring back the Colosseum, with Steam as it's distributor.

He'd almost be crazy to not challenge some kid that talked shit about him on twitter to a deathmatch in a cage on international waters.

>>268620856
He could never top Phil "Choking Hazard" Fish.

>>268620783

Personal? He issued public death threats. If the Legal department at Valve didn't respond that they should have all been fired.

>>268620698
They're hipsters who want to make an impact on an industry, but aren't talented enough to break into more established mediums such as literature or the fine arts. They have dreams of becoming pioneers and being lauded as visionaries. There's a reason indie devs are the ones making such a strong push for games to be seen as "art," and it's not because they care about the industry. They're narcissists in search of fame and admiration, never forget that, anon.

Ooooh man this is the first time I've been ahead of the curve.

I think I remember the devs of Paranautical Activity talking on a podcast and criticizing the shit out of steam...

I like to think it wasn't just the death threat but rather that was the straw that broke the camel's back, and valve remembers their bullshit from last time.

No one has a right to be on steam, and its pretty standard for to no longer be associated with a company after public threatening the head of it.

I see these kinds of people more and more.
Like they walk around praying to have an excuse to explode.
They have no measure of consequences. They just do it.
Its kinda sad.

the :weed: item is STILL like 20 dollars and its almost a year later. Nothing safer than investing your steam dollars(which you can't turn into real cash anyway) into these now permanently scarce shop items. BUY THAT SHIT NOW.

When will the bubble pop /v/?

this guy is probably right and people just don't realize it
Steam is pretty much the only way for a non-huge PC dev to make any money with their games and they basically get like 1 day to hit it big and if they don't its pretty much over for them and they just get lost and unnoticed in the sea of other games
this guy just lashed out about it whereas all those other devs just died quietly and unseen
its even worse now that Valve revamped the store to show "popular" new releases which is basically just code for games that got marketed or hyped in some way or another before they released

Jesus, how fucking unprofessional can you get? His game gets to the very front page of Steam and he flies off the fucking rails and rants on twitter. Why not sent emails out and be an adult?

>>268621049

>>268621168

That's not really true. There's always desura and if you're really struggling you can organize some sort of distribution yourself or even use GoG. or origin

Then there's humble bundles to get the game out there or if you're part of the corrupt inside you could get articles written about your game. If your game is actually good though then advertising wont be that big of an issue.

Man, I love the rush Gabe must have got when he flipped the switch on this shuddering autist.

I work a bar in a fancy nightclub and there's nothing more satisfying than hitting the silent alarm and getting the bouncers to forcibly remove some fucking nobody who thinks they're a big deal because their dad gave them a Ferrari for Christmas.

Honetly, I think it was more of a business decision: If the guy shows no professionalism, why keep their product?

What the fuck is it with indie devs and being absolute fucking nutjobs?

You're doing it wrong. SAM makes Steam think you're playing the respective game you opened the achievemnets page for. No need to install shit.
