Props to the dev. Fuck em.

Hey look, free publicity! Based Dev.

Great responses from the dev. Steam moderation really needs an overhaul, whichever moderators or automated systems that are in place really don't do a good job. There's a lot of hate in reviews and Steam discussions that should just lead to people's accounts being permanently muted across the platform and preferably in games too where possible.

Steam forums are overrun by Russian propaganda bots.

"Please include a trans flag for representation in your video game!" is obviously rage bait for incels that are on there. And let me tell you guys, there are a LOT of incels/nazis all over Steam.

All this to say, Valve REALLY needs to work on their moderation platform however they can. It is a dark spot on an otherwise good platform. (I don't play multiplayer games, so I don't know anything about their gambling habits to make a comment on.)

That rage bait is mainly because Valve added Steam Points, so people say dumb shit to bait awards. They should remove Steam awards giving points to other people, I don't why they ever thought that was a good idea.

Oh, definitely. I can see it often enough to confirm. I think some people have caught on to the "grift" so to speak where they (and I) just block those accounts now. Shouldn't have to, but that's how it is for now.

What a legend.

"Also has Muslims"

Isn't that the case for most modern FPS games? Is it only an issue when you don't kill them?

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 27 points 2 weeks ago

You know, as a vehicle to have the developers respond in that quippy manner, I'd support leaving those comments up (also shows not to pay attention to any other reviews they post).

[–] momocchi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Literally buying this game right now to support them, looks like a game I’d enjoy too which is a bonus
