I think at least some people do not watch every episode that is released ASAP, so having multiple threads for multiple episodes that are released at once is useful for not spoiling the latter episodes, so that’s not spamming IMO.
That said, even on Reddit where there were more users, those multiple-episode-at-once (or whole series-at-once like netflix) animes tends to get lower discussion participation, especially the episodes in the middle so I understand where you are coming from.
The AMD devs must have experimented with injection and test played with the new drivers before release. I wonder why this wasn’t caught by Valve then.
I thought what should have happened was either the dev would get banned, or contacted by Valve and get told they technique should not be used, before driver release, and they could have worked with Valve to fix their code and/or VAC.
