   Respectfully, if you’re a member of the press and you basically review an unannounced game that clearly asks you not to and not to talk publicly about it: you’re an ass.

     @ThePlant I feel like the Verge has always been hell-bent on chasing exclusives regardless of the cost.

     @jmcs @ThePlant But it's also important to have respectful relationships with companies like Valve. It's a delicate balance, but the balance can be achieved.
