Oh, it's a threat from the left. I was more worried about one from the right.
What the left says can be completely ignored right now.

What do you mean "the left"? It is from the US so at best it is from the "slight less extreme far right".

What has Valve done right?
- Proton
- Steam
- Steam deck
- Steam market (the place to sell underpriced skins for small amounts of money) What has Valve done wrong?
- Loot boxes
- Moderation (it is impossible)
- Their anti-cheat (Swiss cheese of anti-cheats, >!EAC and BattlEye are better!<)
Overall, I prefer Valve and Steam over a Chinese holding firm that almost has the monopoly over the gaming industry and the company with a black logo that has a close-minded CEO and Sweeney'd to Tencent.

To be fair, it is full of racist and fascist stuff. You can report them but Valve doesn't do anything.
Is it worse then twitter or facebook? Also, can we stop infantilizing "young adults"? They're trying to discredit anyone's opinion who isn't a senior citizen.
What comes to my mind is Battlefront 2, which is sold by Steam. I think I paid $5 for it since I boycotted it back when it first came out to due to loot crates... anyway, I regularly see the n-word used in this game every. single. night. It's used specifically to denigrate people of color, in violent and extremely racist ways.
I don't understand how players with maxed out accounts are able to keep them when they are saying this stuff. How is that not flagged for immediate review? EA is a trash company, and Steam may want to stop selling their games if they can't do the BARE MINIMUM to combat this sort of behavior.
So, I guess the quick version is that the fun police are upset because of the gamer word. You know, the one used on Xbox live, a lot...

A good old crusade against videogames.
It's as if the new admin is trying really hard to find new ways to be face-eating-leopards to the gen z male faces that voted them into power.
