Popular tech site The Verge has published a large amount of information about Valve’s secret shooter, Deadlock,

It's just bad faith reporting. It reminds me of Kotaku sneaking into conventions before they opened to report what games were there.

I think you must be talking about a different website?
That's what I thought as well. When has The Verge ever been good?
They literally included a screenshot of valve asking to not share information about the game with a little quip about how they pressed escape instead of ok. Blantant disrespect to valves wishes even if it's not a legally binding agreement.
They chose getting clicks over doing right by valve. Shame on them.
I used to think they were reputable until they came out with that PC building video
LTT posted a do-over video with Stefan. He seems like a decent guy. Have followed him since then. https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ?si=AlEpsycL5ifF3RxD
20,000 people are playing it at a time. Not exactly a secret. The way they're testing this game is radical and newsworthy in itself. I'm glad Verge reported on it, and they don't seem mad they they were banned
The verge has been paid advertising disguised as tech news for decades now. Arstechnica too.
Isn't it like just over ten years old?
