Then maybe you should work on understanding how other people interpret what you say. The posts you two made were ridiculously rude. And even if I'm more sensitive to it than most (which I don't believe I am) then they'd still be rude. Either way, it's all definitely rude to woozlez, who was the intended recipient.The simple fact is I don't see 90% of what I wrote as rude, and I definitely don't see Leminnes' posts as rude.
Raising a concern is different from outright being rude and namecalling. You could have been so much nicer about the whole thing. You raise a concern by asking for clarification.
Instead of this sneery personal attack:
This really just looks like a very transparent way to get people to make items for you so that you can lean on Valve a little harder to add your maps with this whole "community update" thing.
Why not a genuine question:
Or if you wanted to be more direct about the maps involved:Why don't you get the whole community involved and open this up to maps as well as just items?
Did Valve say they were interested in these maps when you emailed them? If not, have you reworked and improved them since then?
Then when you get a response, you don't call them self entitled or say that you think they're incredibly arrogant or call the project digusting. Do you really think saying that is civil and isn't rude?
