Does anyone notice the pattern?

[Low Standards]

That if you say something negative (or even neutral) about Steam, that 1 or more of the following will occur:

1. Stop playing the victim.
2. You deserved it.
3. Your a troll.
4. You are looking for attention.

I find it interesting. I just don't see it in my threads, but to anyone who posts something negative about Steam. Shouldn't everyone be a little more open-minded or are we just talking to forum moderators here?

1: Don't think I've seen this narrative being spread around.
2: Rarely see this.
3: I see this a lot because there are people who make the most outrageous claims and act as if Steam is like that for everyone else. They are trolls.
4: I'd say yes on this because it looks like some of those people want to start a war.


People are free to disagree with people who have negative opinions about Steam. Most of the time they are just rants too.

What do you expect to happen?

If you go into Yankee Stadium and loudly proclaim to a bunch of Yankees fans that the Yankees suck, how do you think that's going to go? Do you expect them to applaud?

I don't know if you noticed, but these are the Steam forums, where you're very likely to find a bunch of Steam fans. (With a few trolls mixed in for good measure.)

Being a Steam Fan Means you will call out steam when it does suck and does something wrong.

There isn't a Yankee Fan alive that wouldn't call out the Yankee's when they are losing, have you ever actually been to a Stadium baseball game? You can't rightly say steam sucks when it does something right can you? the problem is most people only talk badly about steam when its actually losing an doing something wrong.

That in itself suggests that the criticism is good and steam should actually listen to its users rather then offend them.

I am not sure how any of you can miss the pattern, but clearly there is a denial pattern going on all over the steam forums. Start by forgetting about denying the problems, and just fix them.
