Developers remove games from Steam over Valve's Black Lives Matter silence

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-06-16-developers-remove-games-from-steam-over-valves-black-lives-matter-silence

'Several indie developers have removed their games from Steam to protest against Valve's lack of support for the Black Lives Matter movement.'

'They came forward following an announcement from Art Sqool's Julian Glander, who said he was pulling his games from Steam. He shared on Twitter that he doesn't see himself publishing on Valve's platform ever again'

He added that he finds having his games associated with Steam "embarrassing and a little nauseating" and urged other indie developers to join him in removing their games from the store

I'd rather have a company working as usual and leave current day politics out than having another [BRAND]TM related message about [CURRENT EVENT].

I say good riddance as odds are the games were complete garbage anyways.

Good. Good thing is steam keeps silent. Gaben is a smart (and rich) man.

Thumbs up, those indie devs just want their 2 seconds of attention. good luck with that. hahaha

Oh dear Lord..

..what would Valve do without the likes of First Winter or ART SQOOL ?

They are utterly screwed, let me tell you.

I believe businesses like valve should stay out of politics and current events and get on with there own affairs.

I mean..

..some of those games are literally worse than trash.

The kind of stuff you'd find on Newgrounds back in 2010.

Good riddance, I suppose.

Steam is the only company doing it right since I'm not giving any money to video game devs and publishers that tries to shove their politics and SJWism down people's throat.

One of them even go so far as to show solidarity by shutting down game servers which to me is the worst form of heresy and human rights abuse. (not gonna name them but you can easily google it)
