I recently subscribed to this and I must say I didn't expect this kind of behavior here.
Anyways, I'd like to ask some questions if I may: - Do Valve employees ever respond to conversations here? - Do they actually read these conversations? I don't really want to start a discussion topic here if it's unclear whether or not it will actually reach Valve. If I wanted to share my thoughts and opinions without necessarily requiring Valve's attention, I can always post it on Reddit or even Steam forums. Thank you for you time.
