We joke but what happened to the Valve beta community is worth of a Sociology end of grade study, its fucking grim.

From being centered around an early 00s Russian forum with every asset found free, to every finding being held by a transexual tightly gated cabal, with everyone hoping for the next infighting and accusations to happen so they revenge-dump "new" stuff (shared between them for several years)
The gigaleak happened because some dude was accused of transphobe and wanted him out, TF2 source code and bot crisis happened because Tyler fucked up, etc. Sad to witness.
