Regardless is he that wrong? People bitched up a storm about Sony, yet when it's valve its another case of Oh it's valve, they can do no wrong. The hypocrisy involving certain dev/publishers around here is just comical.
Just like in politics, it's not so much
what someone says as
why he or she is saying it.
Riley, no matter what name he chooses, has a clear obsessive agenda to verbally lambast Steam and Valve at every possible opportunity. He is an obsessive hate-spindoctor who believes Valve can do nothing right. Riley lacks the ability to objectively view any case concerning Valve or Steam, blinded by his hateful obsession as he is. So any point he makes, regardless of the apparent wisdom behind his words, needs to be viewed through that prism. 'nin' seems pretty sure his anti-Valve crusade has to do with his employment by a rival studio, and I am inclined to agree.
Personally, while disappointed (and truth be told, a tad worried) by thie news of the hack, I'm not all that bent out of shape about it, nor was I with Sony's, because shit happens, and it's impossible to prepare for every contingency. Nothing is asshole-proof because they are always building better assholes.
