I know that "rules" say don't complain about downvotes, but man, I'm confused when people have downvoted me for complimenting someone's work and suggesting that you should support them. I stated it was $2 so that people who hadn't bothered checking out the Steam page would be aware of that, bu whatever. @dang, I really don't think HN was intended to work like that. I watched a few minutes ago as someone went through my comments and over 30 seconds it went -2, -2, -2, which even makes me wonder if people have multiple accounts that they abuse for that. Has anyone else experienced that? Sorry for the meta, I just don't get that behavior. Kind of ugly. edit: so yeah, same thing on this comment. Bam, -2. I dunno what spiteful game someone is playing, but it's silly.
