It seems that the world is a cruel and twisted place when a blizzard that ravages the Pacific north-west is actually joked about in a Gamespot news article.
Moreover, I find it interesting that the fact that people have died is merely a footnote in the article. Frankly, as someone who possesses no ill will towards the human race, and generally prays for our safety, my primary focus would be commenting on the blizzard - merely through its connection to Steam.
It seems to me to be a bit more tactful to focus on the issue that has killed four people first, and then say “as a consequence, Steam servers are likely to be down for the next little while. The hearts and prayers of everyone at Gamespot go out to the people caught in this blizzard.”
But…to make some video game company related joke about it…for shame.
