    Steam’s moderation just hit oppressive levels, and its staff banning/removing submissions that don’t break guidelines while lying about the reason is Reddit-level. Please Steam, you can stop being cunts. You can return from this.

      You… do know that Steam isn’t the issue here, right? It’s Visa and Mastercard that are being cunts

        Well yes, and Steam is continuing to censor and damage its reputation as the best gamer’s market, as a conduit of free expression. It’s possible they are continuously pressured and were told to remove this, but they can also say no. Valve can have moral standards, and they can prove they’re not part of the problem by being transparent and ensuring that they do not help usher in a terrible, oppressive future.

          But then they go out of business when 90% of their customers are no longer able to buy anything.

          It’s an absolute lose-lose type of situation, unfortunately.
