Marc Laidlaw's Twitter account has been deleted.

So I was browsing Twitter today and noticed that Marc Laidlaw's Twitter account has been deleted. https://twitter.com/MarcLaidlaw If you try going to the page it says it doesn't exist. Anyone on here know why he deleted his Twitter account?

So you'd stop stalking him, of course.

We noticed this as well, and we're not sure why he would delete it. This was his second Twitter account though, so it's possible he could create a new one, or he could reactive his old account.

I don't know why he did this but these are some of his latest tweets:

fake. You write Half-Life with a "-" and not "Half Life".

 

[User With No Name]

That would explain why he would delete his twitter. Can't wait to see Half-Life 3 next ye- NO! I'm not falling for it. I've been burned too many times by false hope. Not this time! *runs to corner and cries*

Worth noting: The message in this fake tweet is 153 characters long.

To truly fit into 120 characters, the message would have been cut off at: "I have to go now. My planet needs me. Before I transcend to a new ethereal plane, there is one last secret I must impart"

Which, honestly, is even funnier.

Even if you ignore all of that, Marc hasn't used that avatar on his Twitter page in months.

Response from Marc:

No particular reason. It's just a black hole for personal creative energy I would rather free up for use elsewhere. Nothing to do with Valve. It was fun for a while. Thanks for reading all 16,000 tweets!

I knew it! I mentioned to Barnz that it seemed like he wants to get off Twitter and focus his attention and energy elsewhere, like people who delete their Facebook accounts because they don't want their life to revolve around it. Marc spent a LOT of time on Twitter, especially recently.

Good find.

Yea, they're probably fake. I copied them from Reddit. I'm sorry about that. I didn't know 120 char limit since i never used Twitter.

No, I know who Vyrnnus is.

Yeah that's the real tell it's fake. Good spot.

I see so many people who write Half Life instead of Half-Life so thats what caught my attention immediately

 

[buddyconnor]

https://twitter.com/MarcLaidlaw I guess he's back now.

Well I guess that solves the great mystery.

 

[Aizawa]
