Kind of a funny time to post this as Valve literally is releasing a new game in open beta this week.

 

[lazygecko]

That's a satire news site.

 

[D.Dragoon]

You know this is basically the onion of gaming right?

 

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

Hard times is like TheOnion btw.

 

[808s & Villainy]

I hope people don't get fooled

 

[Alucrid]

i feel like this is fake. who is going to fire you in a flat structure?

 

[TheMoon]

Update: Due to an unintentional leak by our reporter, Valve was informed of Nasbeth's work and terminated his employment. Hard Drive has fired the reporter in question and wishes him luck at his new job as managing editor at The Intercept.

Uhhh

The Hard Times is a very real punk news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. The historic satire site was founded in December 1982 at 171A studios while the founding members were eating broken glass with The Bad Brains. It's made by a group of punk and hardcore kids from all the different sub-genres of the DIY hardcore scene. Any resemblance to actual persons or band names is coincidental.

I love it so much when people unironically post Hard Drive and Onion articles

 

[ZeroX]

Straight up, The Hard Times/Hard Drive is the only gaming outlet putting out truly important stories.

I'm all for giving Valve credit where credit is due, but... new game? They're putting their name on a mod someone else made, using assets that already exist.

Sure it takes work to do so, but how about something new and original?

Hard Times is better than Onion's gaming articles tbh

 

[Ja-]

Is this supposed to be funny

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I miss when people used to see onion news articles in Facebook and get pissed. Thank you OP.

[ShinUltramanJ]

This story will totally be used against Valve by certain people, in the future.

 

[Aurongel]

This really needs a "SATIRE" prefix in the thread title.

 

[chrominance]

That Intercept burn, damn.
