It’s an alpha…

Sure, I get that, and if it was the first game from an indie developer that would make sense, but for a game from Valve who have extensive resources, talent and experience it definitely seems like a poor introduction to the game.

Lame excuse.

AAAAA studios do not get a pass anymore. Billion dollar companies have zero excuses in my eyes. Don’t care the company or what they produce. Defending these companies is nothing more then Stockholm syndrome.

Not an excuse… You apparently don’t know what alpha is if you think the definition changes based on who makes it. It means you should expect it to be unpolished, full stop. Many major bugs and technical issues define what is called an alpha.

Also, than*

Also I’m not sure how someone who barely plays games has Stockholm syndrome. My only skin in the game here is I think valve is normally decent.

I know exactly what the term alpha SHOULD mean…also beta. These billion dollar companies know too but don’t give a rats ass. Stop defending these corporations.

If this was Independent development, I wouldn’t even be saying anything. Once a billion dollar company enters the scene, the rules are different. I’m done giving a rats ass about what normal should be with these AAAAASA studios.

Like I said, AAAAA does not get a pass on bullshit anymore. Fuck em
