Valve Fans Trolling over a Halloween Event - Kotaku

So apparently Valve and DOTA 2 fans went on a trolling rampage recently, making prank calls, spamming meta critic and message boards...because a Halloween event wasn't scheduled.

Yep.

I really don't get how prank calling a company and wasting an employee time is supposed to do anything. I didn't find that funny at all. It was actually pretty awkward to listen to.

Someone in the comments wrote: "This is what gives gamers a bad image in society."

They're right. Its pretty juvenile and disappointing and does little for gamer's who are always talking about the medium deserving credibility.

What did you expect? This is why we can't have nice things.

This is really sickening.. Especially when these games are in fact FREE to play.

I only called them a few times, don't put the blame all on me. I said "If you don't release HL3 info, at least give Alyx a nice Halloween costume"

Oh wait, you didn't name me. Forget I said anything! do de do do *whistles*

I will probably never play a MOBA game simply because the user community for that game genre is shit.

In all honesty the community's rampage is more about Valve's lack of communication for the past year rather than the Halloween event itself. The spam is way over the top though and hurting themselves.

Are these actually Valve fans, or just random idiots claiming to be fans? They sound less like fans and more like socially deprived /b/-tards.

It's mostly Valve's fault.

The Volvo stuff killed me, hilarious. BUT it's extremely childish and stupid to cry so much about a silly Halloween event on a free game. This alone should make it so that they never organize events.

How exactly?

That is pretty sad. I feel embarrassed for them.

Moba fanboys are truly the worst.

The Walking Dead: 400 days didn't have a halloween sale... I'm going to rampage against Valve !!!
