Hi Steam! I write this in support of Code Avarice. They are jerks, we all know it, and they deserve some kind of punishment for being assholes. BUT everyone deserves a second chance. Everyone, in a certain moment of our life, did a giant mistake. And I think that everyone receveid a second chance. They admitted the mistake, they said they're sorry, and they probably learned (hopefully) the lesson. I'm not interested in the game - it's not my kind - but I'm interested in people that does the wrong thing and realizes it and then gets a second chance. Sincerely, Valeriomassimo Barbanti.

Please do not deny the work done over years by the crew at CA because of one idiot making an off-handed comment.

Years worth of work should not be judged on a moment of rage.

Though what was said was terrible, we all know it was an empty threat. This doesn't make it right however, I'm not saying that. I do believe that his game should return to steam now the the employee who made the comment has resigned. The company should not be punished for something that one idiot has said and paid the consequences for.

While the actions of a co-founder was found deplorable, he has since left the company due to his conduct, and while I defend Valve's choice on the matter, I don't think it fair or reasonable that a single individual can bring down a company like this, just imagine if it was a bigger company like Ubisoft, if a single person of the company became frustrated due to some interaction with Steam, I'd find it highly unreasonable that everything Ubisoft were to be stripped from Steam and halt any interaction with said company. So yes, I think the game deserves to be back on Steam.

Its truly a shame what mike did. I thought he was a pretty good guy and I understand his frustration but that does not justify for what he did. I love this game, its up there in my top 5 indie games list. I truly hope it can get back on steam

These young men are just slightly older than my gaughter, not yet allowed to legally drink in my state. Everyone makes mistakes, including young developers with limited PR savvy. Criminal courts even consider motive and intent, yet on the internet all mistakes a re permanently archive, and all bans are permanent. An actual murderer's punishment will end before this one does. This death threat is no more real and serious than the tweet encouraging bullying of nerds was that currently is losing Gawker advertising dollars. So, you can see that even seasoned media professionals can drop a bad tweet in the heat of passion, and earn unintended consequences for their enterprise. Let's cut this game a break.

Mike's the one that fucked up. The rest of the team shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes.
