Is Valve reading the forums?

[Ether]

Do you think it's better if they were or if they weren't.
On one hand they'd be extremely negligent of the community.
On the other hand, they either have serious issues or are scrambling to come up with a make-up EP3 trailer.

Or more hats.

Which one? Discuss?

[YMICrazy502]

A few of them are but they will not respond. I mean they are not the one's who decide all this marketing stuff most just help make the games. Though the countdown was designed to release late, they will never admit it.

[PSI Defense Up]

They're definitely reading the forums, the question is how they're seeing this.

i make post which deleted 5 seconds.... they are watching

[awesome_ninjaa]

ya..... hey are.... even at night

[Idiot Cube]

If they were, we could hear their cruel laughter.

[DipsetChristmas]

theyre reading it and laughing their asses off

[koolkalang]

If they are...hi valve :D *waves*

[Omegalisk]

I hope they are reading this, so that, if they really care about their customers, they will do something, anything! We need something to happen!

Of course they're reading the forums. Check your stickies, for one, and you'll see the recently posted saying you'll get your account banned if you post spoilers (which was about time, btw).

Maybe those are the lower valve workers who don't have much say. I want to know if the heads know what everyone thinks about all these shenanigans.

I know the mods are, judging this off the PM I got yesterday...rats

[KaosAngel]

They are. I just got a PM from Valve staff about the thread I made with the Console version coming out before PC.

Did they call you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Somebody's reading them........my post disappeared.

I'm just curious how they are going to fix this PR mess tomorrow. You know that almost all the major game news sites are going to flame them for this. Releasing Portal 2 tomorrow won't be enough to fix this mess they made and the trust they've lost.

This thread was on page 2...now half has disappeared?!?!

Paranoid or WHAT!!!!!!

I wonder if some of the major game sites might have NDAs ticking away related to other Valve games?

That sticky came from a moderator. They don't work for valve.

I think it's a HL3 trailer, with that Valve will be forgiven.

Not to say I didn't have any fun, I loved it all the way through, and yes, I would do it again (and hopes Valve does as well).

[Watrmln]

If they are...hi valve :D *waves*

They're watching. I feel them watching. You can't let them get inside your head.....


NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE HER FROM ME AGAIN! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I LOVE THE CUBE! I CAN'T EUTHANIZE HER!

They'll be "forgiven" whenever a HL3 trailer surfaces. So if such a trailer did exist they'd probably save it for right before E3.

Last post in sticky is from Valve admin.

A valve employee posted in the sticky earlier. Now the post is gone. Wondered why it was removed....must have gotten in trouble for apologizing for people being spoiled. God forbid they admit the forums ruined the game for some of us.

You're right... his post is gone!? Now that's bizarre.

+1 rep for the plausible 'apologizing' theory, btw.

Ya probably got in trouble or something who knows. That def validates the fact that there are several of them in these forums. Or else that post would not have been removed.

[sparks454alive]

How could I post any spoilers, if'n I play exclusively on a PC?
No I don't do the illegal approach, don't even go there!!!!

[ShellM591]

We've seen a few dev posts, yes.
