So, while playing Age of Empires 2 HD (I was on the first Hun chapter with those fucking Persians) staff member Jacob had brought to my attention that a game had been pulled from the steam storefront. I asked him which one it got yanked and the answer knocked me flat on my ass.
Paranautical Activity had been taken down because Mike (the main developer behind it) had threatened to kill Gabe Newell, better known to throngs of /b/ users and 10 year old screamers as the dark lord GabeN.
Ok, I would normally laugh my ass off and call him a dumbfuck but I genuinely know what it's like to be in a really shitty scenario with no escape in sight. I really did like PA as a game and I am extremely sad to see it end like this. It's also been taken off of the Humble store to make matters worse, because as you all may know: NEPOTISM!
I can only offer these words to Mike, say you are sorry. Please, this is an awful industry and every second you spend in hiding is another second you are the Phil Fish of the week. I cannot fathom why Gabe would have reacted so violently but instead I am speechless at his actions. Hopefully, we will see this resolved by the end of the week.
