It's just bad faith reporting. It reminds me of Kotaku sneaking into conventions before they opened to report what games were there.
It lowers my opinion of The Verge, I used to think they were at least reputable with standards, but that's a real tabloid move.
I think you must be talking about a different website?
That's what I thought as well. When has The Verge ever been good?
They literally included a screenshot of valve asking to not share information about the game with a little quip about how they pressed escape instead of ok. Blantant disrespect to valves wishes even if it's not a legally binding agreement.
They chose getting clicks over doing right by valve. Shame on them.
I used to think they were reputable until they came out with that PC building video
LTT posted a do-over video with Stefan. He seems like a decent guy. Have followed him since then. https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ?si=AlEpsycL5ifF3RxD
The verge has been paid advertising disguised as tech news for decades now. Arstechnica too.
Isn't it like just over ten years old?
