He's an ex-Valve coder who's basically on a personal crusade against them, revealing a lot of internal politics and other unpleasant stuff. Last I checked, he intended to write a book about it.
I am not the kind of a person to care much about people's post history just to take a dig at them for it, and I am not judging him for being into it. This is all harmless and fine. But, sadly, the whole UFO conspiracy theory nonsense seriously undermines my trust in his takes on Valve and how things were actually going there.
Their regional pricing in Argentina is very generous. Most people here would be completely priced out of the industry if they didn't do this.
They had issues with abuse and they solved it requiring local addresses for payment methods instead of nuking us from orbit.
I don't know why they are doing this, a lot of companies have pulled out of country due to the fake dollar exchange rate thing.
And I'm wary of saying it's generous since it's a for profit company, but I don't know if our pricing is even worth the bandwidth, since a lot of them are like 1/10th.
We are really lucky Valve exists here, it's on a league of its own.
