Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

So what is your complaint? That Steam is not obligated to host every game submitted to them? Or that Steam does not take the time to provide a point by point critique of every game submitted to them?
That they are a bad publisher, don't provide good feedback, their tools on the developer sides suck (the stories I heard from people who have released things), they don't help out smaller developers out at all, the 30% fee if you are small less fee if you are big thing is silly, that they are opaque as fuck when dealing with them, their moderation sucks (see how long it took them to do anything about review bombing for example), etc etc.
nice bit of bad faith there.
So nothing to do with the horse game. Don't feed into their publicity stunt.
Of course it is related, in a list of bad things steam is doing/did it should be included as an example of them communicating badly. But clearly you want to focus only on this dead horse, and I cant make you drink the rest of my argument here, so lets say neigh to continueing this conversation. Lets stop the ride.
