    Some games have been targeted by Steam curators

    Curators are hidden by default, only people who follow the curator see curator recommendations. They also don’t affect store visibility or the review score in any way,.

    The problem is not even that Steam forums are a cesspool

    Steam leaves moderation of forums to the developer/publisher to moderate as they wish, as if they interfered you bet they’d get complaints about Valve stepping on their toes. If a developer/publisher decides they want to allow hatred in their Steam forums, you should probably blame them.

      Cool! Will you also read the rest of the quote?

      This encouraged others to post further reviews and comments related to Kirk (and not the game).

      But apparently nobody wants to read the article, so here’s my screenshot:

      Yes, I also blame the poor indie dev who barely gets enough money to keep existing instead of the multi billion dollar company that apparently is content with misogyny, racism and bigotry running rampant on every facet of their platform.
