Although Deadlock already has a test server, even attracting tens of thousands of players to participate and evaluate, Valve still seems reluctant to announce this. It was not until August 23 that this famous developer spoke up to acknowledge the existence of the new project from their side. However, there is still a problem that makes many gamers uncomfortable, which is that Deadlock is too “picky” about players and the way to participate in experiencing this game is also relatively limited.
Specifically, gamers can only wait to receive an invitation email from Valve. Considering the large number of Steam users, even breaking the record for the number of users at the same time, the probability of this happening is too low. The second way is to wait for a friend – who already has the right to experience Deadlock to send an invitation and Valve to approve. The above option sounds more feasible but also takes a lot of time. However, recently, a gamer has found a “faster and lighter” way than ever to experience Deadlock. That is to send a direct email to Valve's boss, Gabe Newell.
According to Ivyx123 – the lucky guy in the story, this gamer received access to Deadlock after sending a direct email to Gabe and receiving a response from him. Although Valve is one of the biggest companies in the video game industry, Gabe Newell always tries to answer fan emails, so it's no surprise that he was able to help this guy. Of course, after this sharing, Gabe is expected to receive a series of more letters with similar content.
Although the game is still in Alpha, the overall response from players has been quite positive. One of the most famous names in the FPS world, Shroud, is even confident that Deadlock will soon “dominate” as soon as it officially launches.
