Developers remove games from Steam over Valve's Black Lives Matter silence

Valve says maybe three words a year so how is this surprising to anyone much less this developer?

BLM likely started from an honest place but now seems to be a money-making scheme.

It didn't, it spawned out of the idea that some guy who tried to grab a cops gun and shoot him and then charged him actually had his hands up and cried for the officers to not shoot. Also the Trayvon Martin incident where someone who wasn't even a cop killed a thug in self defense. Basically BLM is trying to say you should allow black people to kill you, rob you and rape you.
 
So he's gonna reject those $1000/month just because? Yeah, no one is baking him, sure... of course LMAO.

Whoever is behind this shit cannot let a inch of the world not kneeling, godammit...

.... But why? Big companies arent pulling their games from steam and neither should small developers.

I can only think that's it's a publicity stunt designed to make nobodies somebodies.

Problem with this is once again. THESE people don't play games!!!

Well that show of virtue signalling sure backfired didn't it.

I bet he was trying to impress a girl or get her attention & was all like "Look how many sales I sacrificed for the good of mankind!"

And she was "Mkay".
 
Please make a empty statement of support. For less than 300 characters a statement, you to can pretend to support the end of Black suffering at the hands of Law Enforcement

So is this like one of those movements where it's done out of principle then Steam offer a half assed PR response then they all flood back because they have no resolve? Smells like it.

Those individuals should feel embarassed and a little nauseated about themselves only.
Thinking you are fighting the good figh while literally ruining the world and societies all over the planet beyond repair requires a lack of intellect so outstanding i honestly didn't think was possible. They are proving humans haven't changed one bit since past centuries, if not just overall dumber and with no values whatsoever on sight. So depressing.
When i was a kid racism didn't even existed in our brains, we only recognized the individual and not the race, now it's all about the fucking race, it's all about schizofrenic behaviors, it's all about fascist tactics.
I can't even imagine what the many people of african origins 'ive met in my life who were just amazing individuals i admired are thinking about of all this, about becoming mere tools in the hands of disturbed spoiled childs, associated with literal criminals just because of skin pigmentation and supposed genetic common traits. A century of REAL progress down the fucking toilet.

Social engineers should be proud of themselves.
 
Imagine thinking having any kind of leverage over someone big as Gabe Newell, who himself is so massive, he can literally distort space and time with his gravitational force created by his powerful presence.

They realize all these corporate statements are completely empty, right? Like they're not doing it out of a belief in the statements they're doing it out of a "please buy my product" approach.

I'm glad Valve has stayed silent. I want the least amount of politics in my gaming as possible. I just want to play games! It is my escape from all the insanity around us.
 
Congrats to him, he only has himself to blame (Well, maybe parents/schooling was the start of the problem...), he lost his livelihood because he interprets the world like an idiot.

Guys, please raise your children properly, if you don't know what "properly" means DM me your children and I'll raise them for you.

vir·tue sig·nal·ing

noun

  1. the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
    "it's noticeable how often virtue signaling consists of saying you hate things"
 
It's refreshing when companies *don't* attach to public momentum in a self-serving manner. Let them be what they are - businesses engaged in making money - not voices of faux justice.

Why do they need a damn video game store to agree with their politics

Like it's just a store lmao

Its better to just laugh at it as you do, rather than get worked up. Widespread behaviour like this was unheard of even 10 years ago, these people actually think they are in a "war" so they are acting irrationally.

Your comment already said this basically but I just want to repeat it to show how nuts it is:

This guy chose to not have an income and possibly not be able to buy food for him, his family or pay his rent/mortgage (unlikely, but who knows really) because a digital games store refused to take a stand against a highly-contested, societal "issue" that evidence doesn't support.

I'm reminded part in a book I read recently where the author had an account with a bank and they started heavily supporting LGBT movement with instore banners and colouring everywhere and he said "Yeah, thats great and all, but I'm more concerned with whether I can get an overdraft on my account".

lmao, its the same thing here, its just so irrelevant to what Steam are doing as a business for them to comment on this.
 
The thing I don't understand is how much power a "statement" can have for some people. A lot of companies have provided a statement, sure, but how does anyone know if those words truly have any merit or weight to them? For all we know, every single company that's made a statement couldn't give less of a shit about anyone that isn't them. Some people want to see the effort, sure, I get that. But just because a company hasn't said anything at all shouldn't automatically make them the enemy. Radicals exist on all sides.
