Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
Steam forums suck so much, any game with a female protag has at least one thread asking about how ‘woke’ it is or a thread complaining about the game being ‘woke’ because there is a single gay character or smth.
Reminds me of when I saw a thread along the lines of “Can we get an option for a male character? I don’t feel immersed with a female character”. I really couldn’t tell if he was a troll or not. The most charitable reading would be that he also wouldn’t mind more female options in other games, which is absolutely possible, but somehow I doubt it.
And the people who ask “is this game dead?” if there haven’t been any updates recently. No, it’s not dead. It’s just finished. Final. Not in need of further development.

Even worse is the constant harassment of indie devs.
Just constant “Is this AI?” And them demanding more and more evidence rather than letting the dev cook.
Tbf a ton of games with AI-generated graphics are not flagged as that despite Steam’s rules, so I’m not surprised that people want more reassurance.
