Support NeoGAF

Good idea, I'll take this into account, most of the times the work comes into heaps which usually occurs when I've got to make the steam thread unfortunately.

See, I'd love to help, but I don't have much to help with. My photoshopping is average at best (although I'll whip you in a concepting competition )
I do have this to say, if it's any help at all: You've done a bloody brilliant job thus far, but it's not worth getting stressed over if work is getting too heavy.

This:

Shit. That's... Harsh.

this was known for much longer than two months if you looked at any of the reviews or forum topics bitching about it
note: multiplayer/coop was a kickstarter goal too apparently...

Huh. Well, I honestly hadn't thought to check. Guess I should've. But the fact that it was still listed is... Despicable. Reading some stuff, it's atleast been known for like 6? months if not more by the community. Why the fuck was it still on the page? Damned scam artist.

Phil Fish 2.0
This guy will be going places. I guarantee it.

Phil Fish wasn't anywhere near this bad, really. This guy is an outright asshole and psychopath, Fish... Is outspoken and a direct, and very rough, critic.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want... Etc.

Well you can take solace in the fact that you now own an unlisted game.

Spoiler

I guess.

I hope it's not added back on. it'll be like, almost rare or something. Atleast in a decade.

do it. everyone loves a good meltdown

That we do... Indeed we do...

 

[TouchMyBox]

He's gonna murder Beck too? What did Beck do?

Dianetics, dude.

 

[Miguel81]

By the time he is finished making them you could have read war and peace 3 times.

I see what you did there.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

more like Paranautical REKTivity...

more like Paranautical INactivity!

He's playing Killing Floor right now. http://www.twitch.tv/zer0doxy
Somebody tell him

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Hopefully this will pay my mortgage and send my future kids to college one day.

 

[JaseC]

Did Steam... remove the game?

My first thought was that he pulled it himself, but that wouldn't explain why he's no longer tagged as a dev.

 

[Kiru]

Did Steam... remove the game?

See for yourself: https://store.steampowered.com/app/250580/

 

[The Dear Leader]

Did Steam... remove the game?

Holy crap, it really is gone. Valve doesn't joke around with death threats, understandably so.

 

[def sim]

It's really unfortunate he chose to approach the situation that way. Yikes.

 

[Hero Prinny]

whats going on here guys? whats with this kill gabe stuff? o-O

 

[Sarcasm]

So what am I missing?

 

[Chariot]

I love how the description is only relating the game to other games, instead of just letting the concept stand for itself.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It's basically the Action Comics #1 of Steam games

 

[MMBosstones86]

I have that for my PS3 but I never beat the game, It was also my first Final fantasy that I actually bought and planned to actually beat I played
some other ones but I didn't own them and never beaten them and I had a idea that Final Fantasy was something good so I paid 60 bucks for it...
what a waste I wont buy another FF game unless there's some really good reviews for it.

great review

 

[The Dear Leader]

You should get the Pat & Mat devs to lose their shit on twitter so you can make a small fortune on all those copies you got.

Talk about burning a bridge lol. He just burned the whole town down and salted the earth.

 

[Bubbavelli]

LOOK AT THE FUCKING BACKGROUND

 

[darkchewie]

Devs really should stay off social media and hire PR people.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Wow. The first Alien Isolation preorder-DLC is just 10 minutes long...

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wow. The first Alien Isolation preorder-DLC is just 10 minutes long...

Crew Expendable is longer than Lone Survivor.

 

[Hero Prinny]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i lol'd in real life. thats fucking hilarious

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

So, from what I've gathered in the past minute or so, the guy who made Paranautical Activity sent someone death threats and Valve delisted his game?

Good. Death threats aren't doing anyone any good.

 

[Casimir]

whats going on here guys? whats with this kill gabe stuff? o-O

Indie developer tweets death threats concerning Gabe Newell because there was a slight issue with his games launch on Steam.

 

[Miguel81]

Phil Fish wasn't anywhere near this bad, really. This guy is an outright asshole and psychopath, Fish... Is outspoken and a direct, and very rough, critic.

He is an asshole, but he seems way too emotional to be a psychopath.

 

[Derp]

LOOK AT THE FUCKING BACKGROUND

Holy shit. Did he do that as a joke or is it photoshopped?

 

[TheMadMan007]

Man, people really need to calm down before they post stuff on twitter.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Good. Death threats aren't doing anyone any good.

He threatened Gabe himself, not just some ordinary someone.

 

[Casimir]

Holy shit. Did he do that as a joke or is it photoshopped?

That is a photoshopped image. It appeared shortly after the original image did.

 

[Saty]

There's probably a topic title to be made out of all of this.

 

[davepoobond]

What an insane person

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Crew Expendable is longer than Lone Survivor.

Are you kidding me? How long would Lone Survivor be then if I finished Crew Expendable on hard in about 10 minutes?

 

[xBladeM6x]

Who could possibly threaten this hunk of sexy.

[Jawmuncher]

Man, people really need to calm down before they post stuff on twitter.

It's amazing the amount of people who have had numerous avenues ruined by being to quick to post feelings on twitter.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Ehh, no need to bother with that. He's already fucked himself over with his tweets.

 

[Uzzy]

The ironic thing is, the game is on the front page and would have garnered customers.

Anyone looking into a purchase would likely peruse the store page anyways and find out the banner was incorrect. Sure, he is likely losing some customers, but Valve would likely fix the issue and he could request a longer promotional period.

Exactly, it's totally moronic from him. He's gone and destroyed his career and reputation over a minor error.

Let this be a timely lesson. If you're angry, step away from social networks.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

 

[Hero Prinny]

I just realized that the title is a reference to now most games being region locked. just when I started to get into them cheap prices too. that really blows man, just my luck.

Indie developer tweets death threats concerning Gabe Newell because there was a slight issue with his games launch on Steam.

ooh, thats kind of silly and really immature. you expect that from a teenager who dramatizes everything, not a grown person.

[L.O.R.D]

yeb , steam removed the game from the store
the forum is still available
http://steamcommunity.com/app/250580/discussions/

i don't get it , why he become so angry ?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Are you kidding me? How long would Lone Survivor be then if I finished Crew Expendable on hard in about 10 minutes?

It was 5 minutes for me.
I was pretty amazed when I beat it and that was it.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Twitter is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.
It's basically the antithesis to "Think before you act"

 

[Jawmuncher]

So what is this secret team at valve that actually responds to stuff ASAP.
There's been more than a few cases where they fix/change things really fast.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I somehow think the voices cost the most for the DLC.

Kinda felt more like some guy at work there thought "Hm. How would it look like if I recreate a scene from the movie for fun?" and some supervisor "Shit. We can sell this as DLC!"

 

[RionaaM]

Oh, awesome! Just found out Paranautical Activity doesn't have multiplayer, and that it wont be getting it... Despite it being a promised feature on their storepage last time I checked it, less than two months ago. It's the only reason I bought the fucking thing... Jeez. >_<'

That created a controversy a while ago, with some people on the Steam forums claiming the dev had lied to them, and some community mod banning them and deleting the threads.

Not to mention the fact that they were still promising co-op would come eventually, while in fact they had already decided it wouldn't several months before.

Phil Fish 2.0
This guy will be going places. I guarantee it.

Nah, Phil always had a reason for his comments, even if he went too far sometimes. This guy, however, looks like an asshole.

 

[Adnor]

It looks like in the german store it said that the game was released, not in early access

[Maniac]

I thought the thing he was mad about was the terrible art, took me a second to see the Early Acsess descrpency.

Excellent artists in that devteam, eh?

I love how the description is only relating the game to other games, instead of just letting the concept stand for itself.

That's because there isn't much of one, really. It's not very original, but it's a decent blend of a few games.

Exactly, it's totally moronic from him. He's gone and destroyed his career and reputation over a minor error.

I wont mind too much, I'd be bothered or worried had it been a talented developer with genuinely good ideas and innovative designs / ideas. This is not that developer.

I agree though, he really should've taken a moment to relax, reflect and communicate.

 

[Ozium]

Twitter is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.

you say worst thing to ever happen
i say greatest thing
a mirror reflecting the horrible truth of humanity

So what is this secret team at valve that actually responds to stuff ASAP.

Nintendo has ninja
Steam has men in black

or maybe just Gman...

Second to last one isn't working. What did it say? Was that the death threat?

its just the regular team, they just respond quick to things when it benefits them.
