Quoting because it was at the bottom of the page.
Damn shame though. I had so many more jokes.

ugh, totally missed THN's post
From what I read about Steam Dev Days, it seems Valve fully went with OGL with Source 2. No DX. If true, what's your take on that? What would it mean? I don't know what features DX and OGL share.

What the heck happened in here?
Can't this just be about LEFT 4 DEAD!?

Well, to be frank it should be rather about Source 2. That's what's news here 
(first seeing it, that is)
(first seeing it, that is)These days they're pretty comparable, especially if you're using extensions to fix some of the issues with OpenGL, but notably OpenGL has the advantage of not needing newer versions of Windows to use your whole hardware feature set.

There's not a lot of truth on that site. (original phrasing redacted following stumpakow's post about not slagging off other sites)
I wouldn't say everything was right.
He posted in the thread about the youtube shenanigans about advertising materials being vetted by legal, which is not entirely accurate.

How ironic. The people cboat was providing insider information to are the ones screwing him over in the end.
This sucks...
Source 2 looks great though. Can't wait!

Working in the industry tells me otherwise. The only time legal gets involved with an advertising campaign is if a contest is involved with legal conditions over prizing. Otherwise Media agencies and their partner Creative Agencies have a lot of autonomy over the campaign and processes.
Only the vendor, or in that case Machinima's legal team would have been involved, and that would have been far removed from MS. CBOAT wouldn't have any insight on the matter given his previous leaks. He would have been better off not commenting.
This is completely off the topic at hand, but I had pointed out the processes involved in that thread somewhere. It's probably buried now.
I can't wait to see Source 2 in action, I want HL3.

MisterX is hilarious to read, but tooooootally full of shit. I go there for entertainment a couple times a week.

I'm not as knowledgeable of OpenGl as I am DX, but they are similar in terms of the end product & capabilities. OpenGL may turn out to be actually a lot better since Valve won't be held back by the Windows platform, waiting for DirectX updates from Microsoft. More control is in their hands.
that masses need to take their pills
He said that contracts are vetted by legal, which is entirely accurate. Don't move the goalposts.
Majority bollocks but the information about what has gone on in this thread seems to highlight issues with this thread, removal of posts, updating of year old posts etc
Editing of posts fine but blanket deleting comes across as protecting the inner circle
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I won't take this further however as this is not the place to discuss this.

There CANNOT be people that believe this. Maybe before launch because nothing was concrete but now...
I don;t think there is anyone left who believes in the dGPU
Somebody who apparently lots of people on twitter hate. It's quite amusing.
Hopefully he is more careful next time when dealing with other sources.
I bet Putin knows. He's a scary fucker.
/v/ is in on this pointless drama too?

Only took nine years and the concession that the conspiracy runs so deep even Valve is against MS
lol....they have proofs though mang. And apparently Neogaf is out to get Microsoft by using a Mod to discredit them.
Believe.
Honestly if it happenned this time only I could understand, but the no-personal-info rule has always been enforced. CBOAT or the other member also have no affiliation with the staff, so you can't really talk of inner circle.
More like protecting a leaker who could lose his job if discovered, a leaker who passes interesting infos (so far never proven wrong as far as I know) to the community. Why shouldn't the mods protect him?
The whole SonyGAF thing is ridiculous in first place, I've got no PS4 and no X1, I'm more of a Nintendo guy, but even I can see that many GAF members just call out the unreasonable stuff that Microsoft is doing since the Adam Orth scandal. It's not like the forum is actively working to ruin Microsoft and the Xbox, there's no hivemind, and if the majority here thinks that Microsoft has done many wrong things, there has to be a reason, unless we're all madmen.

Sorry, I've been away for a few days and just happened upon this thread - what has happened in regards to exposing CBoaT and the like?
I find the notion of Source 2 pretty interesting; but it seems like this thread has become about /v/ and reddit in some way?

listen to the mad man
We deleted the posts that occurred immediately when a member identified the imgur metadata connection. We publicly disclosed that we deleted those posts and why we deleted the posts. We do not allow people to try to track down people's personal information. Reddit doesn't either, which is why links to this story were removed by moderators in several subreddits. This is pretty much basic Internet 101. We do this any time it happens. We did not and would not ban the original user who identified the connection because he clearly wasn't trying to witch hunt or anything, he just noticed something odd when he was looking for more info on the story. We then updated the image in the OP to remove the connection there. That is identified publicly in the OP. So that's the limits of moderation involvement here. There have been, to my knowledge, no subsequent deleted posts. When posts are deleted, they are "soft deleted", so I can still see deleted posts and I'm telling you personally there's no epidemic of stuff being removed. This is an example of what it looks like on my end when a post is deleted. We removed the initial derail, and publicly acknowledged that we did. Well, sorry, that's quite accurate. We did not say "We deleted these posts", we made it clear that we had intervened to remove a derail of that nature and subsequent users explained it. So sorry if there was a confusion when I said "Don't try to post people's personal info" and it wasn't clear that I was referring to a deleted derail of people trying to post people's personal info.
I assume that the person who was outed as being a potential source of this information edited his own posts--you are also allowed to edit your own posts. Go ahead. Edit out all your past posts. No one cares. It's not a conspiracy. Go for it.--because he was worried he'd get in trouble with whoever his source was. If he was a primary source because he was employed by Valve or some other company that had access to this information, I trust he edited out his connection in an effort to not get fired or reprimanded? If you really want to stalk the person's post history, you'll see he's the only one who edited out his own posts. Like, isn't this obvious?
The story incorrectly claims the affected user is a GAF moderator. You can clearly verify yourself that he is not. Users repeating the story have incorrectly claimed the affected user was a GAF moderator. He was not. You can clearly verify that yourself--he's only been on the site for a year or so, and you can easily track down all new moderator appointments during that period of time. This is information used to ascertain how the user in question was able to edit out his old posts. In reality any user can do this. Feel free to edit out your own posts if you have disclosed information linking things to you that you don't want linked to you.
I have no idea what the "inner circle" is (legitimately what do people think we do with our day?) but personally I had never heard of the person who has been identified as a NeoGAF moderator until yesterday. Sorry to the user in question that I didn't notice you. When a few of the moderators asked each other "what the hell is going on here", SteveYoungblood was the only person who recognized the user well. There are like 150,000 members here. It's hard enough keeping track of actual troublemakers and good posters who have tens of thousands of posts. Where is the conspiracy?

Supposedly these are the new characters for L4D3 according to CBOAT.
I would pay all of the money for an Assy McGee skin in L4D. All of it.
I knew I recognised Misterxmedia from somewhere: https://twitter.com/NeoGAFShitPosts/status/425143080082083840
Anyway, am interested in Source 2. Looking good.

I really hope Valve will keep their visuals clean. That's something I always liked about their Source games. I don't need no CA :C
Legal is involved when contracts are signed because they are legally bound and liable based on the criteria in said SLA.

He IS mentally ill and I'm not saying that to be derogative, I'm using it to be accurate. I think it's about time HE was caught out because I go there for a laugh and I'm very good at picking up patterns in text. HIS inside source expresses himself EXACTLY the same as MisterX and makes EXACTLY the same grammatical errors. He basically has a conversation with himself and all the fools over there can't see it.
He regularly has lists up naming people on Gaf that have been wrongly banned for just being Xbox fans. One such list featured MY name. He has a campaign going on at the moment encouraging his followers to go out into other forums and mess things up for Sony fans. You can find the actual message in picture form if you go to his site and scroll down.

He put me on that list too. I had been banned for thread whining like a week before I was listed on a stupid post of his, but I enjoyed seeing my name on the list. It made me feel famous. I would just continue to either laugh at or ignore his posts, though. It seems like he is getting to you and that's obviously what he wants.
I don't think I posted in this before the conspiracy before, but did we have Valve Steam 2.0 powerpoint stuff once before? If so does this match up to what was shown then? Not sure if I'm remembering right. But it could be a way to have an extra step of verification there.
What about the Reddit thread, everyone is acting like even though one of the mods posted over there that because his posts are anti Xbox and all PS4 at times, he can't be trusted and that is evidence that the dude could of been a mod or some bullshit.

This thread has gone interesting places haha.
But back on topic. I really want to see the kind of features that could be implemented on Source 2.
I must admit that based on my experience with Valve games (and a bit of mapping), Source is my favorite game engine. It's outdated in several aspects tho, so a new version with more recent features would be extremely exciting.
