A dev decides that you can get a Steam key for a game you bought based on what you support or not

Not cool.

Supporting GamerGate means supporting which side ?

What is GamerGate? Also the Greenlight of "I Get This Call Every Day" has been removed from Steam, so I doubt it will ever be released.

What the dev wrote and your head line do not fit well together, as far as I can tell.

From what I've read, the game has been greenlit on April this year, but dev decided not to bring the game to Steam, so he will offer refunds (on a case-by-case base) to all those who purchased the game on GamersGate in expectation of a Steam key.

Go back through all the AAA publishers promising something which never came and complain about all that.

Then, when you've done that, go complain about this dev. :D

What a great way to draw some new attention to your crappy game.

What's the problem? Doesnt he deny keys to harassing jerks? It would be one thing for doing it for neutral stance, but not tolerating toxic one is ok imo...

He'll just go on everyone's shitlist like all the other retard dev's we've been seeing over the last couple of years and never sell a game again because of it.

At least it's just another shitty indie. He can keep it.

Devs these days...

Wow, yet another indie dev gives himself toxic PR. It's almost like they hate the industry they chose to work in.

Another retarded Developer. Let's call forth pitchforks and torches, o my fellow Steam gamers. Let's show him what internet can do.

I used to be a serious Developer like others, but then [I took an arrow to the head]*.

*or enter what ever you want

Looking at the game I'd say let him keep it to himself.

lol

I Get This Call Every Day and I MUST BE TOXIC

What an idiot. First time I heard about his shitty game, so I guess at least the fucker gained some "attention".

Let's just not talk about it, please.

Since he couldn't even determine whether or not someone's a supporter it's just a dull "Look at me!" statement.

Here's what he wrote on Facebook. Sounds reasonable to me. He must have realised that Steam doesn't stand for gamergate, and he's offering refunds to those affected, so all in all I think it's a good move. I can understand not wanting to support people of a movement which caused direct harm to people close to you.

I heard this dev on Giant Bomb's Bombin' in the AM, and he seemed like a cool enough guy. This GamerGate stuff has just ruffled the feathers of everyone deep in video games. Some people--on both sides--are simply a bit too passionate about it, to a point of irrationality. I'm curious if this dev would give a Steam key to someone whose views on GamerGate are similar to TotalBisquit's--he's adopted a more middle-of-the-road opinion on the issue.

Ultimately, though, it's both unethical and bad business to promise a gift for those who support your game and then to revoke the gift for people you disagree with in regards to a majorly blown out of proportion situation between two ex-romantic partners.

Muh feminazism

Well within his rights to do it, and I think it's a good move. He's gonna get a lot of hate for it though, which is rather ironic since that's the entire culture he's trying to avoid.

who gives a shit about his game anyway?

hint: I dont

Garbage game, dumb dev. He's basically ensuring he has no future as a game dev, GG.
