Any word of the "shameful news" we were supposed to get today? Would be a tragic series of events, if true. Think about it:
1) Hatred gets refused on Steam
2) Devs and potential customers get butthurt and go "Fuck'em! We'll just get it on GOG instead! They're the cool guys!"
3) Gaben sees all those precious Steambux slipping through his fingers and takes it upon himself to get Hatred back on Steam.
4) Hatred gets refused on GOG
5) ???
6) Profit!!! (for Steam, that is)
On a side note: Some of you guys got it all wrong, Postal² is not one of the worst games here, it's one of the best games. It's one of the most innovative games coming from an industry bereft of innovation. I can't think of a better example of subverting first person shooters than by making a game that has you wait in line at the cash register. It's also one of the better sandboxes out there and lets you go about things at your own pace (the developer's claim that "Postal² is only as violent as you are" is very much true). I'd easily rank it above the cinematic, militaristic garbage that has plagued shooters for the past 15 years.
