  I “love” how they very carefully avoid making any apology whatsoever.

  There is a difference between passively allowing bad stuff to happen, and actively doing bad stuff.

  I don’t see that much difference. They are half-arsed about store and community moderation to such a degree that it feels like deliberate neglect. They chose the responsibility of running a platform, so need to do the job properly. If they need to hire more staff to do it, perhaps they could afford it from their 9 billion USD profits (as of last year).

  My most recent such games were Her Story and Return of the Obra Dinn.

  During Her Story I ended up with an A5 sheet full of keyword ideas I wanted to search the recordings for.

  Obra Dinn had me draw multiple iterations of a ship deck while trying to figure out who was likely to sleep in which hammock :D

  For the top dog PC game store, Valve could behave much much worse.

  But also much much better. They are really hands off with scummy dev practices, such as paid review farms. Sentinels of the Store covered them here. After it blew up, Steam removed some of the most obvious cases, but afaik others remain.

  Steam has also been hosting numerous outright neo-Nazi groups for many years (PDF) and never really stepped up effectively against them. User reports and media attention has limited effect.

  I wish I could erase all my memories of Obra Dinn, just so I could experience it again for the first time 🥺 Also that soundtrack slaps!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Guild Wars 2, so far I put 4,800+ hours into it.

  I like that it has so many kinds of solo and group content that I can just do whatever I’m in the mood for that day.

  I still see it, albeit rarely, on some subreddits, eg. NatureIsMetal
