I'll no longer buy games on steam until moral improves (drop of censorship)

I don't own or plan to own any of the games recently removed, but I'm also no censorship advocate.

So I'll stop buying games from the platform in general, does this makes a big or small impact? Most likely like a grain of sand in the beach, still I decided to not support such practices, at the end of the day I'll find my way around it.

Was I in need to anounce it? Not much to see if I get other people to do the same since I actually don't care if people keep buying but to let and set evidence to steam that as a customer I'm not supporting their way of doing bussiness.

Have a good day everyone and to Steam as a platform, shame on you, get better.

So you would much rather have steam lose billions not being able to accept visa and Mastercard and layoff almost all of their employees?

Yes shame on them for choosing the path they lets them stay in business.

Sure, let them try, and then Valve can sue them for damages in billions. If they want to throw lawbook around then use it to fight back.

I respect your decision and zeal to change something.
You may be a grain of sand, but with every grain of sand like you, a community can assemble an entire desert and then maybe something will change.
If a community consisting of 70,000 people was able to ban us from playing certain games and ban them on the site, I think that the steam player community, which has many millions of people, will be able to come together to give us back our rights and freedom.

You're free to use BTC. I just wish more vendors would endorse it AND simultaneously drop Visa and MC.

Where there is one, there is many.

The morals did improve when they decided to stop allowing the plethora of cheap ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ porn games filter in from the gutters and the sewers. Steam was quickly becoming a porn game site with how many recent games of that genre have been flooding in relatively completely unchecked

I don't care if there's porn games in general, but the disgusting stuff that had really really bad disturbing topics, I'm really happy to hear that they're getting rid of

BTC is known for volatility and is not a good way to get rich quick. Which is also why BitCoin is considered a mistake.

I'm not sure how much choice Steam has in this atm, but I do know... as with the same argument in general with digital content - That it can be changed/removed at a whim. I've ok with the thought of, I guess I'll deal with it, should it be an issue, but the recent events definitely push me more to buying it direct from the developer... Guess I see how this ends up.
