| impertinence said: Laughable. Valve has the right to refuse whatever they want for whatever reason and that in no way makes them hypocrites. They remove content that they judge will bring too much negative backlash to their platform and allow content they judge will be just fine. If they as the platform owner feels that a game is morally disgusting, they still have every right to tell the developer "no thanks". Since when did it become Valves responsibility to open up their platform to anything people want to put on it? |
How does praying one thing and doing the opposite not make you a hypocrite?
They have the right to judge how they want so that we can say that their judging is weird and has a double standard. The thing is apparently that they have an exact measure of what is too much backlash and it would be interesting to see how they define it. Because I've seen a lot of backlash against other shit games that Valve continues to support with their platform.
And as Jim wonderfully said, if their argument is that this game doesn't belong on Steam because they don't like it, it means in return they do like all the other broken shit that is on steam and that they're happy to enable scumbags that put broken games on the platform to scam people.
The issue is not with what they did but what they didn't do.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
