US Federal Video Game ban
Does Valve have anything planned for the eventual ban?

The president elect for the US has stated that he plans on banning video games. I was wondering if Valve had any plans for that; like partial refunds or something.

he plans to ban violent video games from being sold not due to age jsut universally no violence no blood and then it will be movies and comics next to make kids be less violent this will likely be affecting everyone since msot of the industry is in america so it is safer to just remove it everywhere

They may have to give we in the States our own Platform, as they do China. I can't see with all the morality states, and those in the new government making it easy for Valve to traverse.

No, he didn't... look it up.

No the refund policy will remain the same because making business policies based on made up fantasies is not a good idea

Even if he did, it wouldn't be constitutional.

Constitution can easily be amended when all 3 branches of the government serve a single party.

Not really, it requires a 3/4 vote of both houses.

Don't worry, its misinformation that people hear online. A perfect example of why platforms should be more active in banning it as people can fall for it when they don't do their own research.

Ironically enough its misinformation spread by Musk's platform on X, which ironically some suers want him to be involved in Steam....

Ah comedy gold.

I don't think we'll see a game ban per se, but i can see an "anti woke" crusade against games, def in the states, and likely in our government. But you were warned.

In any event, if these matters do happen, maybe you can get out of this business, and pursue a law degree :steamhappy:

Please stop spreading false claims, I am not in any way or form in the video game business no matter how many times you falsely claim it.

Also you've already been told that I no longer use my law degree and haven't for years, so wouldn't need to pursue something I already have.

There are no false claims here, it's part of project 2025 which will become a reality sooner rather than later lol

You should actually read what I posted as you seemed to have not read the part I quoted or my response.
