It's just bad faith reporting. It reminds me of Kotaku sneaking into conventions before they opened to report what games were there.

It lowers my opinion of The Verge, I used to think they were at least reputable with standards, but that's a real tabloid move.

I think you must be talking about a different website?

That's what I thought as well. When has The Verge ever been good?

They literally included a screenshot of valve asking to not share information about the game with a little quip about how they pressed escape instead of ok. Blantant disrespect to valves wishes even if it's not a legally binding agreement.

They chose getting clicks over doing right by valve. Shame on them.

I used to think they were reputable until they came out with that PC building video

LTT posted a do-over video with Stefan. He seems like a decent guy. Have followed him since then. https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ?si=AlEpsycL5ifF3RxD

20,000 people are playing it at a time. Not exactly a secret. The way they're testing this game is radical and newsworthy in itself. I'm glad Verge reported on it, and they don't seem mad they they were banned
