    Valve are irresponsible. Either it should moderate its forums or there shouldn’t be any. All the time we see fascist rhetoric about ‘DEI’ and ‘Woke’. We’ve reported some but they functionally are useless, so why have them?

      Can you people stop trying to browbeat others into supporting your agendas?

      Not everyone has to agree with you on every online forum.

      Not defending valve but are the forums even necessary?

      I’ve been an avid player for 4 years (my son even more so) and I didn’t even know they had forums

        Yeah, sometimes they help to communicate with other players or the developers, seek out hints or bug reports, share cool things from the game or that you did in them, or talk to valve about features/bugs.

        They would be a lot more useful if they were actually moderated but most game developers seem unable or unwilling to do it, and valve is the same, so what ends up happening is that it just becomes a breeding ground for fascism.

          so what ends up happening is that it just becomes a breeding ground for fascism.

          I’ve never seen this myself. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s likely blown way out of proportion by the people children who can’t tolerate opposing viewpoints.

        Feels like it needs another meme for this “You guys have forums?”
