Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 days agoI made the mistake of looking at the Spider-Man discussion board. The entire first page, minus like three posts, was all idiots complaining about pride flags.

Sadly it’s like that for pretty much any game.
On the bright side, a lot of them are bots just trying to influence real people. Unfortunately, it is people who made these bots who probably do have that hatred. And of course, not all of them are bots…
Remember to check the discussion board posts themselves (each comment), if there is a mouse icon, it means they own/play the game. If there is no mouse icon, they do not.
With this in mind, you’ll notice the bot propaganda posts 90% of the time have not played nor own the game. At least on Steam, they may have pirated the game to play it, then decided to post on discussion boards about how empathy and recognizing of othe- sorry, “wokeness” is killing gaming.
It’s so stupid how hatred stifles discussion. Ironically hating the things just makes them focus on it more.

My favorite is when people ask “Is this game dead?” and it’s a five year old single player game. What are you thinking?
