Why does Gabe allow Chuds to run amok on the Steam forums?https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/feb/16/bigotry-steam-pc-moderation-developers-speak-out?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=bsky_gu&utm_medium=&utm_source=Bluesky#Echobox=1771237457
that's the steam userbase, if you don't like it sell your game on epic game store or ea origin or some other website
>>733202482>developersI don't care what indieflop #30795 developer says about Steam.
>>733202482How dare Steam allow opinions from EVERY side!Steam should only allow opinions that aling with The Big Media!
>>733202482nnnnnnnoooo stop complaining and just buy our slop
>we have to protect the rights of the proletariat>wait, not like that!modern leftists are such retards. A fucking communist newspaper begging for censorship so effete capitalists can get away with selling shoddy products to unsuspecting consumers, can you believe it?
>>733202482Why exactly have the powers that be aligned against steam of all fucking things? They don’t even try to be subtle (using retards like Tim Sweeny). Is it just because it isn’t publicly traded?
>>733203059You realize news sites are funded by rich people right? Newspapers too. It's a delicate balance between appeasing the rich and farming clicks. Like who even follows this shit, I get all my news from discord.
>>733203162Steam is a private company so they can't profit off of it
>>733202482>shitty devs looking for more excuses to why it's not their fault they're a failure
steam literally employs shills to harass people, its a dirty companyIts support staff are literally sourced from the community and are a bunch of gamer dude bros.
>>733203447Based, I wanna get paid to harass people online. How do I apply?
>>733202482>Oh no, why do these CHUDS have a right to say what they think and voice what they're bothered by? How AWFUL, why is this allowed? Only ME and people who think exactly like me should be allowed to have a voice!
>>733202482Developers can already moderate their own steam forum. Expecting Valve to play nanny to literally hundreds of thousands of games' individual forums is beyond absurd. But they just leap at a chance to play victim for that sweet sweet social currency, I guess.
>>733202482Maybe stop making shitty lgbt crap and we'll stop review bombing your shitty games.
>>733202482'targeted' anti-woke reviews is just corpo-speak for "consensus among paying customers that crap is crap, they don't like it, and won't pay for it".
>>733203162Steam allows chud games and allows chud gamers to form groups.
>>733203983Anon... there is no "review bombing".It's a fictional tern meant to imply that a shit game getting bad reviews isn't both natural and how it's ALWAYS been.Expect in the before times, game reviewers used to be the ones saying that things were shit.
>>733203917Turns out, upvotes don't pay the bills. Who knew.
The fuck is chuds?
>>733204330chuds are chums and buds
>>733204330It's a slur for people who are always online, typically right leaning, anti-woke types.Comes from the 1984 movie about Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. People that were ugly and deranged. Trolls under the bridge types.It's the new "neckbeard" / "incel" / "living in mommy's basement" reddit tier slang name given to anyone who doesn't support "the current thing".
>>733203917I got banned from the Assasins Creed Origins steam discussions for posting "We".Good times.
Luckily there is /vg/ for us anti-chud xisters
>>733204601/vg/ is cancerous redditfugees, color me completely unsurprised. Any 24/7 thread is bound to be cancer.
>>733204601/vg/ being a redditor colony is this knitting BBS's worst kept secret.
>>733204601There's a /pol/-tier screencap that floats around every now and then that compares 4chsn and reddit and it goes on at length how reddit is a heavily moderated, ago-speak heavy, cleaned-up glazing of current thing echo chamber and how 4chan is basically the wild west where a person might call you a faggot, but tell you something generally helpful, that reddit is so serious and everyone is chasing upvotes and likes and it becomes this sanitized fake toxic positivity shithole and 4chan can be vulgar but it's more real and funny and how it's just sad that this is the place most people would rather be because the experience is authentic and on-point, rather than some HR committee drum circle that is reddit. Tumblr had the same problem. Community moderation is the death of the community.You're all niggers and faggots, but I'd rather be here than reddit.
>>733204568Assassin's Creed Shadows steam discussions banned people for posting the Netflix 'N' image. Or just for posting 'N'.
>>733202482>targeted campaigns of anti woke reviewsbut the anti chud reviews are fine?fucking hypocrites
>>733202482>Games flop>Players salt the woundCry some more devs, you made a shit product, it will be ridiculed.
>>733205128What game? Dev sounds based.
>>733205128Sounds good, now tell me it ain't gacha please.
>>733204468Except I don’t think anyone actually uses it unironically except for that hideous beady eyed gay retard, David Gaydar (and there is nothing he could call you that would be worse than his physical existence is for him.)
>>733202482Shabbos goyim game developers and leftoids who side with jewish supremacists (which means all leftists) are the worst kind of traitors.
>>733202482Leftism only survives due to mass censorship of differing opinions.
>>733205279>>733205281https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336220/Feed_the_Cups/
how do these sheltered faggots go outside without having a panic attack?
>>733204330Shorthand for a chad who's a studChad Stud = Chud
>>733205128>leave negative review at 100 hours>continue playing for another 100 hoursi dont understand
>>733203162The recent attack (lawsuit, hit piece) come from Britain. Someone over there is really making a power move. I expect some Bri'ish politicians to make a move next
Why are there so many attacks on Steam from Britain lately?
>>733202482It became normal when they tried to push their woke agendas.
>>733207661It doesn’t have to from the US. Global players control the countries. Why else would a fucking literal hungarian zombie ex-nazi jew run our elections?
>>733203983You are the kind of scum the article refers to. A normal person would just move on, but you sickos believe that review-bombing is somehow justified and even needed.
>>733203162>Private company>Completely buttfucks the rest of the vidya industry with a fraction of the spending>More or less the last place online where actual user forums (or discussions as they're now called exist).>No contracting out to shell companies pretending to be independent contractors to enforce worldwide computer gangster godbrain shit onto people
>>733204601>>733204861>>733204854That's not what that screenshot says retardbros...
>>733202482>people are begging for woke games and we're going to give it to them>there's a hate campaign to bring us down, but it's just trolls. everyone we've talked to loves it>2 digit player count on release>what even is "woke"?
Because he is on the right side of history.
>>733207931The last reply is a redditor espousing the redeeming values of /vg/ and smoothing over the lack of filter on 4chan and why it's still worth going, faggot. Why don't YOU read?
>>733202482every developper with a bluesky account should have their games banned from steam, then we'd be free of bigotry and shit games
>>733203824move to california and be a games journo. you just need to pretend to be trans so you can justify being a super karen
>>733203917Devs can’t delete shit, as discussed in the article you failed to read.
I wouldn't have to be a bigot if people who aren't me didn't exist, therefore it is literally not my fault that I'm a bigot. If I had my way, everyone would be me and everything would be about me, and I do not deserve to be vilified for wanting that. I am the victim because I'm forced to share my world with billions of people who aren't me, and I don't even get a say in the matter.
>>733203983What’s stopping someone from organizing a hate campaign against a right wing dev? What happens when some cunt posts on an innocent devs forum some sort of false accusation? Steam doesn’t give a fuck. Only a retard could be happy about a policy that has the potential to fuck everyone over just because you dislike a small portion of the people it might fuck.
>>733208502Ah yes, because those systems of control have historically protected the right wing and not been used to silence them.Go peddle your retarded nonsense elsewhere. Companies should be apolitical.
>>733208410Bullshit. Devs police their own forums constantly, locking and deleting threads and banning people they don't like just for critiquing their unpopular, often woke, decisions. I've witnessed it firsthand. People get banned all the goddamn time. You expect me to believe they're forwarding every naughty post to Valve for deletion?And you're damn right I'm not giving their clickbait that throws around the word "bigotry" for views. That's not a failure of mine, that's yours.
