Do not support a racist company.

Steam is promoting a page called "Game Devs of Color Expo". This is a page where they are giving extra promotion and thereby extra financial benefits to "people of color".

As everyone knows "people of color" means anyone who is not white.

It would be one level of racist to give this extra benefit to only 1 race. For example: Hispanic devs only. That would be pretty racist. It's another level of racist to include literally everyone except 1 race. For example: No Hispanics Allowed. That's even more racist.

That's what they're doing by promoting "game devs of color".... It's a page where white people are the only race not allowed.

And I don't wanna hear any cheap dumb opinions where someone says "We already have a white devs page. It's called the homepage."

No.... That's B/S.... People of color are allowed on the homepage, are they not?

Steam, are you openly admitting that people of color are denied access to your homepage and standard listing options when they make a game?

No?! That's not how it works? You are an inclusive company that welcomes submissions from anyone? That's what I thought...

So just to be clear.... You have one level of hosting and promotion of a developers game's that's available to everyone regardless of race... Then on top of that you have a promotional page that goes beyond that, and white people are not allowed.

Yeah, that's racist. I will not support a company that discriminates against people based on their skin color. I will happily continue to use the games I've already bought, and continue to add to the load on their servers. But my wallet is now closed to this company.

I encourage any other sane and rational people who don't think you can correct past discrimination with discrimination in the present, to join suit.

You threatened 2 years ago to not support this company, and didn't even stick to your threat.

Two years ago I said if they don't stop doing this kind of crap I was gonna be done with them... And here we are two years later, and they are still doing it again.... So now I'm done with them...

Where is the inconsistency?! I probably haven't even bought any games since then anyways. When did Doom Eternal drop? That was the last game I bought.

Gotta love how you ideologues who defend and push this woke garbage don't just lie about everything, You invert the truth.

You dig through 2 year old statements and twist them in any way you can to call me a liar , and you say I'm the one acting in bad faith.

You will promote and celebrate, and advance racial agendas in favor of certain races to the detriment of others, and you call me the racist while you do it.

You probably also support giving children cosmetic surgeries and artificial hormones and all other manner of invasive changes, and you will say it's so they can be "their true self".

Not just lies.... But the truth turned upside down.... The exact opposite of whatever is true....

Everyone is really getting sick of dealing with it to be honest.... And since people like you have been wearing everyone down with this gas lighting for 8+ years it's gonna be really fun to watch you get your comeuppance when the pendulum swings the other way and HARD.

They've been doing it consistently the entire time, you're just NOW getting upset over it.

I mean they have a sale like this every Feb too, so....your badge should have read last updated of Feb 2022 or so, or prior, if you REALLY were intending to hold your ground.

And one thin-skinned individual who can't even adhere to their own claims, does not equate to everyone. Sorry.

They did it last year but you didn't notice it.

Technically, you are still here after they did it again already.

:summercat2023:

Ohh well.....

Besides.... I have no intent of deleting the games I already own, So I'm still gonna be here regardless.

But like I said, My wallet is closed to them... Haven't even needed to buy any games for several years anyways. If there's a game I want now I just have a wait a year or two and Epic will give it to me for free. Epic has already given me a decent chunk of my steam wishlist, and now I have a huge backlog of games I never paid for.


Very stupid to be pissing off consumers with divisive political garbage in a climate like this.

Congrats, they'll miss the drop of water in the proverbial lake, I'm sure.

So you don't buy games anyway. I'm sure Valve executives are sobbing into their pillows at the loss of revenue

He also sounds like someone who is obsessed over what he perceives as racist and what is not, all the while being racist himself.

So you don't buy games, what exactly is Valve losing here?

And it wont hurt them.

Valve has literally 1 million users upset about Windows 7 going away, you vanishing, alone, will not impact them in the microscopic of even smallest of forms, there are people who pay even far more then you on this platform and they don't even come to the bloody forums to begin with.

It's pretty racist to divide people based on race. If you disagree, you are literally using words wrong.

I am pretty sick of seeing "No whites allowed," and given any opportunity, I will instantly ignore every single spending opportunity that uses such an evil filter.

Who cares if you had already stopped buying games years ago? You were "already" lost, hell you weren't even on their radar anymore. You stopped being a customer ages ago according to you, so your mask off moment here is just self flagellation. You stopped being part of the bottom line years ago so why would they even WANT to cater to you?

Stop with the gas-lighting.... Everyone knows the only knows there's only one race that doesn't count as "people of color".

"celebrate your ethnicity" doesn't mean "exclude people who aren't oppressed anyway"

But you'd probably have to have a REAL education to understand that saying something doesn't mean something else entirely different.

Thats twitter level "I like pancakes. So you hate waffles!" stupidity
