Dev of Paranautical Activity Threatens Lord Gaben

This is just stupid...

I sold the cards 3 days ago at 0.09... well, life goes on.

Time to idle for cards!

Really glad I got the game for free.

Its interesting but very unpolished and definitely not worth the asking price.

Dang, I got the badges for this game only 3 days ago when it was around 50 cents per badge.

I wonder if the emoticons will be worth any-holy shiiiiiii

Good fucking riddance. Asshole dev reaps the shitstorm he sows.

I get a Phil Fish vibe here ^^

These cards don't really look to be selling. Lowest sell price already dropping too from what it was half an hour ago. I think people bought a few up expecting to make a profit and people like me began to idle for the cards, putting more on the market.

Now I am actually quite glad I gave that away mid-August after sitting on it for a few months since it was last in a HB.

Wow....those tweets though. I knew he was a douche from the reviews of the game (that's why I never redeemed it myself), but that just takes it to a whole new level of stupid on top of being a douche. Just....wow..... WTF did he think would happen if he started running his mouth like that? That guy seems to have a career suicide wish. Needs some sort of anger management classes too or at least some sort of commonsense filter added to his thinking process, so he drops that verbal diarrhea.

Don't mess with the Allmighty Lord Gaben.

This dev is already known for blaming his own users and insulting the people in the forums...

I have to admit that I received an e-mail response from him regarding lets plays I wanted to make for commercial use on my youtube channel. He said ofc that is no problem for him and he doesnt want anything from me, all in all very friendly.

PS: I was about to the tweet the same when I opended CS:GO Chests for 80€ and got the value of 3€ out of it. Damn Gabe....That time u rekt me hard...

PS2: Prices for cards are currently ROCKETING upwards.

Guy got what was coming to him. He's lucky if the authorities don't pay him a visit.

Thou shall not threaten the GabeN. - 11th commandment.

13 Years old developer detected !!!!

better get it from tremor games while they still have a few copies the cards are steam selling for a nice amount I wonder if the devs still get any of that money.... so get it for yourself or to trade later or whatever

Oh my god

So if he just waited for 10-15 minutes instead....

Welp. guy has issues and just screwed himself out of a career. way to go.

The lord giveth and the lord taketh.

His name is Murderbeck too. Such irony.

Welp. As much as I want to hate the game, I got to say it was pretty okay. It got all the elements right. The game just lacking the final finishing touch - more sfx and better soundtrack.

Sold my three cards for ~$3 total. Looks like they're dropping like rocks now as expected.

sigh, I don't even know how a game developer can do this shit.

Somebody made Phil Fish look less like a child by comparison. Bravo! That's a Herculean task in and of itself.

It wasn't linked over to Gabe directly, it was a rant to himself. Unprofessional to talk about a peer like that? Hell yes. Was it an actual death threat? Uhm... no? When somebody grouches to themselves about a colleague having done something that has caused them problems, saying "Urgh, I'm going to kill them!", that's not a death threat.

While I've heard they were known for not marking their tone well in other little dramas, I can empathise a little, in that some people avoid early access games like the plague. While it probably didn't amount to much in lost sales, it still potentially cost him a few. Sure, really not worth having a tantrum over, especially not in a publicly visible social media account that is likely followed by detractors and fans alike. Your own social media accounts are your own space. People need to vent sometimes, whether or not they're being childish. It was going to burn bridges and harm their reputation anyway, slapping on this bullshit about death threats is a little ludicrous though. I mean, isn't part of a death threat actually making sure the target gets the threat, and that they believe you actually intend to carry it out?

Initially it was hard to see if he is serious or not, the way he seemed to rage most of the time at all kinds of things and how he then flipped out prior to the threat I wouldn't have been sure about him either. I'm glad Valve reacted the way they did and I hope they don't take their decision back, since this guy definitely has some issues to work out. He's probably the type that insults or censors his customers, too.
