@valigo It's extremely unprofessional too

Something they conveniently ignore.

[Valmire @Valmirius]

You're merely guessing at the latter translating to sales rather than wishlist that never convert. It almost certainly does nothing for your game.

By the way, you shouldn't expect journalistic rigour from Steam user reviews. If you want to hit back at game journalists acting as reviewers who are demonstrably acting in bad faith, that's probably a fairer game though as that's their job.

Doing this to random Joes makes you look unhinged, no matter how stupid a review or reviewer is.

It's not fair but it's a fact.

If you are selling a product that costs money you have to take it on the chin.

It's crazy how ingrained this behaviour is becoming in game development and is almost certainly related to entitled ideologues who believe in censorship and/or shutting down discourse when it suits them.

[Valentin Ignatev @valigo]

Saying this again for game devs: DO NOT do marketing through dunking on negative reviews. You will get likes on X, but they won't convert to sales.

In your head it looks like "wow he is so smart and brave, I will support him".
But reality is "damn he's crazy I'll stay away I don't want to get ridiculed on twitter if I don't like the game".

This can maybe work in 1% of exceptional cases, but really not worth it

It's amazing that even 120 years ago people ascribed "I can has cheeseburger" dialect to cats

Vote at 16 but a very protected, censored and infantilaised relationship with media until 16

Switched to CachyOS this year after years of Windows holding up sabotaging my dev work by being slow, hitching, freezing etc.

Profiling code while the antimalware service randomly spikes your CPU drove me nuts (try telling it to skip folders, it ignores you). It was gaslighting me during optimisation passes.

Gaming has been no issue for me thanks to Proton.

I don't play much AAA slop so the anti-cheat stuff hasn't bitten me, so your mileage may vary depending on your personal taste.

Haven't logged into Windows in months. Never going back. It's not what Linux does really. It's what it doesn't do. In an era of terrible software that's the bar of being good.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
