He who shall not be named has released his latest game, Line of Defense Tactics, on Steam.  Predictably, he's been "active" on the Steam forums in a way only Serek Dmart can. awesome, for real

"Normally, this is just something I would smirk at and move on". This is a fascinating definition of "normally' from the Destroyer of Coke Machines. Generally normally means, "usually", "frequently", "often". In Dmartese, it seems to mean "almost never".

That bloke must worry about what we'll all do without him when he's dead and gone.

In his little follow up where he tries hard to admit he's screwed the pooch, he utters this line :

That's right, folks, he's condoning physical violence against our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

That game has to be in the top 5 worst named games.  I read it as "does a thing, tactics". 

Which is interesting, especially watching the Steam Dev marketing meeting the other day.  The point was made the marketing begins with the name of the game.

From the "Marketing your game", if anyone is interested.  http://www.steamdevdays.com/

I watched (a very short slice of) the second video, the game tutorial. "Select attack all" and the gunfire and sounds don't at all match the graphics. Nice.

I'm amazed the Dmart hasn't assaulted KS.

edit: Hah, skimmed the pricing rant. I'm also amazed he hasn't started releasing whale packages for the morons who tell him to charge more. Capitalism rule #1: charge what the market will bear. If someone wants to pay you more money, you charge him more money.

He does the whole "don't you know who I am bit" in that wall of text he wrote. Every single person who reads that should immediately stop at that point and never buy anything with his name attached to it ever again.

I added a post of support to his steam thread, suggesting that his game would be "off the hook" and he should charge $60 because people will pay for quality.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I look forward to seeing what happens when he realizes that this time, he's throwing a temper tantrum in front of an audience of millions of jaded gamers, not hundreds of shoe-lickers.

That will just reinforce his "Persecuted Messiah" complex even further.

However, we laugh at him now, but we'll all feel guilty and foolish when he finally makes the Best Game Ever/jumps off a bridge/massacres fifty people/ascends to Godhood.

People should be more thankful that he is not raising the price of existing versions to make new versions. Because he totally could and decided against it.  why so serious?

I'm not sure what exactly Valve is doing with the tag system.  The equivalent for a bricks-mortar store would be letting customers put post-it notes on all the product on the shelves saying how bad it is, and then not expecting sales to tank.

This is his review:

Quote
Hello Everyone,

As the developer of the game, I cannot write a review and my dev teams are strictly forbidden from doing so, even anonymously.

That said, if you have any interest in this game, and you recognize that the people writing these negative reviews were in fact banned for trolling and making abusive posts in the moderated forums, then please read this announcement for news on a PC demo.

Followed by a lot of negative comments directed at him. He then says this:

Quote
So now that Valve is involved, let's see what happens next since you people clearly don't realize that you can get your Steam accounts banned if you don't adhere to the community rules and guidelines for posting.

And this:

Quote
Sorry guys, we're not doing this here. I didn't post a review. I posted a link to a forum thread explaining what you guys are doing here. Don't bother with the attacks because they will be deleted. And those that are being done in other reviews, have been reported to Valve.

It's pretty much classic Serek. We've seen this all before. I still find it hilarious.
