Tell me your company leadership has ADHD without saying it.

Have they actually worked with Valve before? How could they be dumb enough to not reach out first?

Or was this maybe an attempt to strong-arm Valve into granting them a license? Like, did they expect them to go, "well shit, you've got so many preorders now I guess we'll have to sign off on it"?

Or did they simply expect Valve not to care?

Considering almost the exact same thing happened with Sony before, one can only assume it was on purpose.
