Force Irdeto employees to out themselves as such before posting anywhere on the boards

[.]

They have a lot of propagandists defending their garbage around here, so I figure rather than let them run free and spread misinformation, they should have to be labeled as employees of Irdeto before posting. If they don't, then Irdeto should face harsh consequences for spreading misinformation online on the behalf of their performance-impacting middleware.

Fair's fair.

They don't post, they read your posts. If you are so upset with alt-rights, do not stoop to their level of doxing and harassment.

OP seems to want to dox people. Doxing is explicitly against Steam TOS:

I did not say to dox people, I said that an Irdeto employee should have to label themselves as such before posting.

Which is pretty akin to doxing. And those who are part of the former BayTSP are definitely going to take as many steps as possible to protect their anonymity.

No. If someone is labeled as a developer on the forums, then it just means exactly that: they're a developer. You see it on the forums all the time, and developers have a specific label assigned to them. I'm suggesting the same be applied to Irdeto employees.

The "Valve employee" badge doesn't mean that we outed Valve employees. Same principle.

No label unless they have a developer account. Valve isn't going to force third parties to label themselves if they have no special privileges for the game hub.

What if they're agents on the behalf of a certain organisation whose only agenda would be to spread misinformation or biases on the behalf of their organisations? Transparency is key to a good consumer relation with a storefront.

It'd be good for developers to have to be forced to the same standards and not be allowed to post on personal accounts. Maybe the suggestion should expand that far.

Irrelevant. Reported.

Thanks for ruining the thread with your extremist accusation, Crashed.

That's conspiracy theory talk. Remember when the cracking groups admitted that Denuvo wasn't slowing down Hogwarts Legacy but that Steam Overlay was?

Fair's fair.

Fair's fair would be you changing your profile name to your real name and adding which company you work for.

Maybe if I were selling something on Steam directly and were employed by a game developer/publisher/DRM developer and had an open stake in the matter.

Not in this case.

How do we know? And how do you know someone is an employee of {insert game dev}?

Irrelevant because if you want transparency then let the forums know who are in real life and who you work for, after all fair's fair.
