Similar to the responses now, except without what happened. Maybe they don't have a dedicated PR, but this would be one sentence and people would've been satisfied.
Not saying it was right for those people to act out like they did, but Valve could've handled it better without much effort. Oh well, moving on.
That's just it though, valve doesn't have a dedicated PR section like that, if you read the valve employee handbook you learn that their work-structure is very fluid, and if everyone were busy with the new updates it's incredibly likely nobody took a step back and thought, hey maybe we should tell them that there wont be a diretide this year.
Clearly valve should have just announced that, but regardless a part of the community still reacted like babies.
