    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.

    i had decided i was going to only buy PC games from GOG for reasons, but now I feel like i actually have valid reasons instead of emotional ones.

      I Like GOG But i find Steam its Easier to buy games(you can find giftcards).I perfer to buy all my games from one place and i like their client more(like the built in web browser,Chatting and groups features,Communities,etc)
      the only think i dont like about Steam client really is its UI and UX and its a memory hog thanks to CEF
      What i like about GOG you dont need its client or any client open while in game(like you can choose a client that is written in GTK),you actually own the game and DRM-FREE.
