My response to recent events.
Recent events and media coverage have sparked mass outrage towards me. I would like to put an end to this once and for all. Although the legitimacy of some of the cases against me are questionable, it does not warrant the way I have acted toward the community. I apologise to those who I have offended with my responses, it is a learning curve for me and I am still learning how to handle these situations. I am a developer and not a Public Relations expert so from now on I will take a more hands off approach in that department and focus on what I do best, and develop a game to make the community proud. Going foward I will now only reply in a professional, friendly manner and only hand out forum bans to those who are in serious violation of my own forum rules (which I did get approval to use from a Valve employee) and Valve's official community guidelines. All current forum bans will now be lifted, as they were issued in an unfair manner.

Contrary to popular belief I do care about the game I am producing and I am not here to make a quick buck. I want to make a great, enjoyable game for the community where they can influence production and have their ideas and suggested features part of the game. I have taken a few days off and will take another few days off development to see how this situation plays out and if I am awarded another chance I will not let the community down.

I am sorry for the way I have acted and have learned from this experience. I am waiting to see if Valve will issue me a warning or end their relationship with me entirely over these events.

P.S Contrary to popular belief I am not suing anyone or engaging in any lawsuits!!!
