Valve also gutted their LGBTQIA+ content a few months back. And they have had a MASSIVE nazi infestation basically since they set up message boards because Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

So... chill a bit with the glazing. They are better in a lot of ways but they are not our friends.

    You are aware the game removals are due to MasterCard and Visa right?

    At best you can argue that Valve will not protect you. Hence, not your friend.

    They also let your children gamble, so that's cool too

    I'd rather have control over my digital items than gambling protection that infringes on what can I do with them

    What items do you think that you have control over? You don't own anything in your account and it can be taken away for any reason or for no reason at all.

    Shh don't tell them things that make sense, they want to feel persecution. Jk. But i did hear that most/a lot of those were incest or rape based since that's super illegal in many countries, so payment processor companies pushed for their removal. Not to mention, many removals were country-specific, not worldwide. Frankly that's fine by me, not sorry your anime rape and incest games are gone
