I think the thing everyone is forgetting is that valve isn't stupid, there's no way they didn't realize you could work around accepting the (legally unenforcable) NDA, and it's open invite.

Valve 100% knows that keeping it "secret" is good for hype and was expecting this to happen at any time, and the nominal ban was expected, but nobody is gonna get sued either.

More people are talking about Valve's "secret" new game because of this than would be if they openly announced it.

If you were wondering, it got named "double u" when u and v were the same letter, V was used at the beginning of words and u ain the middle/end. It wasn't till much later they were seperated into 2 glyphs for different sounds.

Even more fun if you are an American engineer, where a rounded edge uses the English pronunciation for no good reason.

It's unfair to call them shitty, rock pigeons make nests on flat, stable surfaces, and are tended to by both parents in shifts, so all the nest needs to do is prevent the egg from rolling away when they get up. The nests are perfectly suited to purpose, it's us humans who are imposing unfair beauty standards for what a nest "should" be.
