@BrikoX The invitation to the beta says don't discuss it with anybody or you'll have your access revoked. It then tells you a second time when you boot the game "don't discuss this with anybody," which the guy took a screenshot of and claimed it wasn't binding since he hit escape, not ok. Except the idiot forgot that his access isn't promised, it's provisional, and it's 100000000% in valve's right to ban the guy if he's doing the exact opposite of what they asked him *TWICE* not to do.

I think you are grasping at straws to be angry at something. Nowhere did the author blame Valve for banning him, and he jokingly mentioned that Esc dismissed the message instead of clicking OK. In his update, he even asked to be mocked for getting banned since he exposed himself by doing his job.

Asking not to do something in a popup is not binding in any way, shape or form, it's just friendly asking, no matter if you click Esc or OK or any other key.
