I paid for the game, I am entitled to discuss it on steam forums.

[eram]

you are not entitled to anything

[space]

you are "entitled" to discuss it as long as you don't break the forum guidelines, which i assume you didn't follow and that's what prompted this post

[eram]

is it the COH guy?

You are PERMITTED to discuss it. But discussing it does not involve insulting and ragging on it. Wording is important.

Yes.

You're entitled to speak about anything you wish on the steam forums as a customer. The ToS even confirms this given it's vague "rules." Unfortunately many people here don't seem to grasp the idea of free speech especially moderation.

there's no free speech on privately owned forums, free speech only protects from government persecution, private or public companies don't have to abide by it

Since when is Steam a governmental entity that is legally obligated to guarantee the right to free speech on its platform?

Gamers are so entitled these days...

[The nameless Gamer]

Many people confuse "freedom of speech" with "freedom to be a jerk".

No, you're not. Your payment only grants you license to access the game for as long as you abide by the terms of the license. Community access is a privilege offered for as long as you abide by those rules; something you did not do.

Private forum, not government. You have no free speech here. I'm sure someone will link the XKCD comic soon.

No you're not. Buying the game, just gets you the game. Nothing else.
