Curious what the Half-Life and Dota 2 maker’s been up to?

I wish valve could sued the mf instead of just banning him. The game ask to not divulge and the mf publish a article to farm some internet clicks, come on man.
And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA.
This message does pop up when I launch Deadlock, but I didn’t click “OK”; instead, I hit the Escape key and watched it disappear.
The pop-up wasn't even an agreement, it just said "don't do it"
why wouldn't it be an agreement tho? like sure it's not an EULA, but it's asking you to do something before allowing you into the game
They could have worded it differently, but they didn't. It doesn't ask, it doesn't have any confirmation or agreement language. It literally just says 'do not share anything about the game with anyone' with an 'ok' prompt.
Why though? They get free advertising and by banning him they showed everyone else that they will follow through on banning if they share information so it stays contained.
Did they want the free advertising now in the alpha? I don't think so
Honestly, I think Valve is just kind of doing a soft release/announcement and are trying to build up hype slowly like this. If they were really worried about leaks they wouldn't have given anybody in it unlimited free invites to send to anyone.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a way to avoid typical launch day server issues either.
Rather than have everyone dumped into their servers as once, they let things ramp up.
Though that could be giving too much credit considering it’s in alpha. Aloha would suggest its still far from release, probably too early to bother stress test the servers or w/e.
Fair enough, but there is a possibility that the unlimited invites was not intentional hahahaha. Valve also do some oopsie doodle
