Got his game removed

Well... don't threaten the man selling your game is the lesson here.

Well, it'll be another interesting game to collect.

People who send death threats to anyone (or even post them on social networks) are fucking idiots. I'm glad his game got pulled.

Have to agree. It's astonishing how many people believe they can say whatever they want with no consequence at all.
As I saw somewhere... "It's just a phase. No one keeps getting reasons to be sued forever..."

It's even more astonishing how many people still defend this guy, or those who don't but say pulling the game from Steam was too harsh.

If I threaten my boss to kill him, he has every right to cease ANY connection to me, professional and personal.

Gaben is clearly the only grown man between the two of them. Some might even say overgrown.

But seriously that dev is obviously retarded no matter whether the game's fun or not. I haven't played it however.

I bought the game before it was on steam, I cant remember if I backed it or just bought it on their site, regardless the devs constantly stirred up trouble. Might of been the same guy but it was another twitter tirade at people who bought his game (before it was ever bundled).

He was asking for it.. even without his stupid empty death threat.. making a public rage fest over a mistake from the people you work with instead of contacting them to fix the problem was stupid and really childish.

You know, it should be rather obvious that death threat even a fake one to your main platforms owner is a bad idea... This is why PR exist. And indies should find some info on it.

I just received a booster pack for that game, like, 15 minutes ago. Makes me wonder if it was just pure coincidence, or if Steam wants to saturate the market with the dev's stuff in order to devalue them (some of the cards' have their cheapest listings at over $10)

Best I've done yet is $3. I sold the first two for $1 each but that was when the price was on the way up. Seems I under estimated how much they would go up.

I still have my cards from this game and an extra copy sitting around. I thank the developer for his stupid.

EDIT: I knew I remembered this guy from somewhere, he was the one who blamed Groupees for not delivering the keys when it turned out, he had only sent 7.5k as opposed to the 34k the bundle had sold.

It's also not the first time they've "threatened" violence against people on Twitter.

Yeah... let's not forget about these tweets either:

Tweet 1 -
Tweet 2 -
Tweet 3 -
Tweet 4 -
Tweet 5 -
Tweet 6

This guy obviously uses Twitter as his personal punching bag. During the Groupees debacle he took out his childish anger on the people who wanted to play his game... this time it seems he did the same thing to someone who can hit back a little harder.

He won't be missed.
