Valve acquires @deadlock social media handle

According to @Pricempire, Valve has acquired the now-suspended @deadlock account handle on X, which was deactivated and suspended a few weeks prior.

The post below outlines a potential claim sourced from rocker, a current top-level Deadlock player who is claimed to be the previous owner of the account, that Valve “took it.”

Prior to the account being suspended, it was used as a news account for several months, highlighting Deadlock-related stories, videos, and breaking news.
