Steam is Anti-Consumer and Full of Censorship

[BLOOD ASYLUM]

Between all the false bans, the inconsistent TOS, IE holding you accountable for game hub bans, but insisting the developers control them and are seperate from steams control, allowing devs to misadvertize and subvert, allowing weird games on the platform, and so on, I can say I'm done giving money to steam until they turn it around. I'm actually thankful they have competition. They don't care about their users, and their response to one leaving is, "There's millions more!" Adios


Don't by into the red herring of these moderator advocates. The playbook they will use

1. Your post history, but won't state what. It's just to discredit you.
2. They will say their house their rules. They are facilitating anti-consumerism.
3. They will say the rules change. They justify their discrimination.
4. They don't play by the rules. They will make a false report to ban.
5. They are for censoring based on opinion. If you have a criticism about a game, be ready to be called a bigot or insulting.
6. They state that you are just a rule breaker. This is normal behavior for your demographic, this is basically the same as stereotyping.

I stated I complained openly on how the relationships were handled. In the post I shared I'm openly complaining about how the relationships are handled.

My complaint wasn't relationships, my complaint was morally bad things being seen as okay or funny to appeal to a political community. You didn't rock a boat, I did. But we should be allowed to have different likes and dislikes. Some bigger than others. The issue is a I had a mod lie to close my thread after failed attempts to bait me dude. They don't want a thread like mine up because they don't want it to effect sales.

And there were people who express distaste for 'immoral' acts in the game and weren't banned.

Pretty sure you can click on any complaint about the bear, incest, polygamy, and nudity and see the great majority of those topic creators are banned lol.

If they were banned for that topic, the topic would've been deleted.

You can see the replies those users made and it paints a pretty good picture of why there was a ban.

You're allowed to have different likes and dislikes. But you're not allowed to run amok and hide behind the idea that your opinions are sacred. Sometimes the things we say or do seem fine to ourselves, but in reality we've stepped in it. And it's just too bad if you don't always want to deal with the consequences or think your comments and opinions are exempt from the opinions of others. And it's too bad if you disagree with the opinion of the owner: "Well, that doesn't belong here."

If they want to remove your comments and remove you, they're within their rights and your approval isn't required. Sometimes your opinions matter less than other opinions. If you don't like that, create your own little fife where no one can silence you. You're not owed it on some game's forum.

Precisely. Its not what you complain about, it's how you go about doing it. And the idea of morals, especially in a video game is very subjective.

Reading this it appears you think I have 1. Run amok. 2. My opinions are more important than yours. 3. You are saying I'm dealing with the consequences of my actions.

Who are you? Lol. You can, like a mature sentient being engage in discussion and we can agree to disagree, or you can don that white knight armor and ride through these forums telling people they are suffering because of their own doing. Get a grip man. I appreciate this tough guy approach but it's so disconnected from the conversation it seems like a joke.

Well I guess a particular man murdered by a cop sitting on him died because it was his fault. Those people sentenced to death row exonerated later in life must have had a bad post history.

Other people being innocent doesn't mean YOU are.

Your comparison doesn't work.

Let's say they removed that controversial scene. Then there could be review bombing due to claimed censorship. You asked to have the game censored, so it's not so fair to be complaining that you're being censored.

Oh, people still upset that they got banned for trolling/brigading a game with slippery slope rhetoric, over an entirely optional easter egg?
