Just wait a year, if valve doesnt deliver by then (shitty mod like games dont count), it will be an even heavier argument that valve is done for and I am pretty sure that valve wont do anything major within a year.

It will be like EA or activision.

To some of us who who went through other particular possibilities, we are already at that stage. Though we are a minority probably. The majority is that of non ancient fans who got burned. (newfags to gaming)

They're avoiding controversy, you fucking retards. You think they care if a bunch of limpdick sociopaths don't get to play their murder simulator on Steam? They've accepted games like that before because SJWs didn't give a shit back then. Now they do, and the amount of money they'll receive from putting the game on Steam pales in comparison to the amount of negative press they'll get if they put it on.

Try playing Smash T.V, faggots, a WAY more satisfying twin stick shooter than your edgy garbage will EVER be.

If they were trying to avoid controversy they majorly fucked up, removing Hatred just made even more people mad. If they had just left it alone, it would have been forgotten about in a couple months. The SJW press wouldn't have cared, it'd be old news, their moral outrage is just clickbait.

Valve has never been good at PR, and this is just yet another example.

You know how these shitty as admins always have somekind of excuse as to why they remove it.

some bullshit technicality like the reddit "algorithm" removing certain subreddits that werent liked at the peak of gg.

I bet valve will also get some slimey excuse as to why they didnt actually pull it.

"nono, you see we are the good guys, we did it for technical reason #3455"

also in the same way when cops ticket too much or wrongfully in automated systems and go like "yes, taking money is very easy but returning it to you is a technical difficulty"

No, it makes YOU retards mad. You are the ONLY PEOPLE who care about this shitty fucking game. What information has been posted about the game besides the initial trailer? What gameplay demos have been shown off? What the fuck do you know about it besides that it's a top down shooter and you kill waves of pixel people? It looks like absolute shit.

Opening cases is a really bad way to get quality skins, you are better off buying them from the market.

>>275910132

Other violent games don't get banned off of steam.
Other shit games don't get banned off of steam.
Other broken games don't get banned off of steam.
Other scam games don't get banned off of steam.

Why was Hatred banned over everything else? This is what we're discussing.

>target says "lol top kekkels, removed from voting, all of my sides" even though other boozes have that same alochol content
>>
>>275910362
well these companies who censor stuff because they have the banhammer are basically like this.

They wont discuss the actual reasoning, the only tool that they use is violence (in this case violence on freedom of speech). I have seen too many in places of authority who do this and valve is not exempt from this, at the very least I managed to bail on them before they could do it to me or my expectations so that its no longer a surprise.

Gabe and his goons are scumbags.

They dominate the market by a fucking country mile, you can say Valve has monopoly. And if a game from a small studios doesn't get released on Steam it may as well be considered as a commercial failure. Seems awfully like censorship to me.

>>275910795
It's a bad analogy because Steam didn't axe all violent/edgy/controversial/whatever games, only one
Your analogy should become "local target sells all the booze except brand X for an unexplained reason"

They're free to not sell it simply because they don't like it. Its dumb, but that's reality. Face it.

This is just the first step of the downfall of Steam. First they ban hardcore edgy games, then mildly hardcore games.This will continue until they have lost all sense of direction and leadership. After that nobody will believe in the long lost integrity of valve. They will try to rescue the ship but all they can do is abandon it.Gaben dies.. And all because they made a stand on a socially unacceptable game. Now they will be pressured into "You banned hatred. Why don't you ban GTA?" They are probably already infiltrated by SJW that spout their nonsensical morale issues everywhere guilting our based distributors.

If Air Control is anything to go by, the broken product has to become a viral hit causing thousands of emails to flood their inboxes before they do anything. Even that might not be enough tho. Throw in a lawsuit from 3 different people & I guess they'll take it down in half a year.

Then it dissipated and was forgotten about entirely save for the occasional "What was his name again?" funposting.
Now its back again, and it'll be forgotten about in a week tops.

Gabe was born in a capitalist society and he is just doing what he can.
He made it possible for me to play counter strike for no cost to me for a long long time so I don't mind throwing him some cash now and then, he gives you so many chances to make it back too. I made 20 dollars in gaben sheckels yeasterday and bought my GF's kid a game on his wishlist. when you get older and have produced things you learn to see the value in what other people have built and appreciate them for it.

Its not the game itself we're mad about. Hatred looked like a mediocre game at best. The point is: Videogames have mostly been an unrestricted and boundry pushing platform, with the growing popularity of vidya however we get all kinds of "politically correct" games with a deep plot and moral. Thats well and good, the problem is people (especially the media and govt) constantly try to censor and control this lawless industry (the internet is similar) because unlike the news or public broadcasting they have some control over what is "ok to say" and what isnt. Most devs have forgotten that most games originated as surface level entertainment thats easy to distinguish from real life. Due to vidya's popularity, so many people from all walks of life can play, and small minorities keep calling for the rest of the industry to bend over backwards to satisfy them, which is only made worse when progressive news outlets blow up the cause and make it worse than it is. It should be an industry where people should be able to make and publish whatever they want, no matter how deep or surface level, boring or good, racist or progressive. Thats what it should be about, not about forcing an industry to bend over backwards for them. They should go into the industry and play ball against other devs and make games they feel are right. Not point the finger and have things removed because it hurts their feelings. The game industry has always had a rebellious nature but at this rate we're going towards the way of a public broadcasting network. Boring, shallow, too scared to take risks and step on toes.

Valve owns most the the video game market, they should therefore work like s public library and have the widest selection of videogames for EVERYONE. When you walk into a library to find a book on history, do you get mad that theres a book written by Hitler in the same library? No, because someone out there could read it.

What it boils down to is Valve and Steam is in the position Diamond Comics Distributors were in with the Comics Code. Did the code technically make it illegal to print violent, drug, zombie content? No. You could still make magazines or run without the stamp. But if you did, Diamond wouldn't carry you. And if Diamond didn't carry you, you weren't going to reach the market. And if you couldn't reach the market, you couldn't sell.

People don't understand that censorship can take many forms, be it government mandated, or using social media to discredit individuals making challenging content so they'll never get work again.
>>
What happened here:

Polish devs, whatever their name is, marketed their game aggressively, playing on controversy.

Media took the bait and shilled against them. Valve decided that in light of potential bad press coverage, a controversial, but small indie game isn't worth risking bad press that could damage their brand. Since their job is to make money, for which they need a clear brand, that's a sensible move. A damaged brand costs in the long run far more than the sales of one small title would bring in.

Hence, they pulled the game soon after it was submitted. Now people seem to be under the impression that Valve ever had anything but making money in mind, and call censorship, instead of complaining about those that caused it in the first press (the media, using their publishing power) or organizing a counter campaign (to negate the power of the media, put them in their place and signal Valve that their userbase is more dangerous to their brand and income than the media).

In short,
>WAAAAHHHHH Valve wants to make money instead of cater to us let's blame them for being a corporation
>>
Valve is fucked.

There are no more good mods for them to buy up and rape with DLC.

All the good mods have already been bought by Valve or already made their own spinoff or attempts at it.

>>275913730
Video games have been becoming boring and shallow due to the attractiveness of the casual market, not because developers feel artistically censored from making games that explore themes they're interested in.

As for Hatred, it doesn't help that the developers seemed to go out of their way to make the game as unmarketable as possible for the sake of a shitty gimmick. A company isn't obligated to sell whatever entertainment/art a developer throws at them, regardless of its content or quality. That's limiting Valve's freedom to operate as a company.

> In October of 2006, the developers of the video games Braid, flOw, Once Upon A Time, Toblo, Everyday Shooter, and Book and Volume withdrew from the Guerilla Gamemaker Competition in protest of what they viewed as unwarranted censorship. The Competition had forcibly banned the entry "Super Columbine Massacre RPG" despite its selection as a finalist. It was a decision that Jonathan Blow, Jenova Chen, and other notable developers couldn't accept as a matter of principle. Among several reasons he had to defend the work's inclusion, Jonathan Blow stated that "[Super Columbine Massacre] does push the boundaries of what games are about. It is composed with more of an eye toward art than most games."

No, your point doesn't stand. It actually fell quite easily.

See, I'll explain it in a way your measly SJW brain might understand:
Just because they CAN do it, doesn't mean they SHOULD.
Other private corporations with large power went the same road as they did long ago, and it ended up as a fucking major disaster for an entire medium.
This is why it's bad! Now do you understand?

if they allow such games why not this one ? i just because the media threw an hissy fit about it, they did the same with postal 2 and 1, now both of them passed greenlight and are available on steam.

when a company gets a large market share and starts to use its services to affect the lives of people, it is considered to be bad.

There are companies who sell at a loss just to drive other companies away, this is illegal.

Censoring stuff on this monopoly service is also considered to be bad.

if valve didnt have such a large market share it wouldnt have mattered.

saying it isnt so doesnt make it so, you gotta refute the arguments.

There is proof that steam owns a very large market share, modern economists also say that this share can already be considered a monopoly.

"At least two "major" shops will demand publishers remove Steam functionality from PC games, a new report claims.

If publishers refuse, those retailers will not sell PC games with Steam integration at all.

"Key retailers" fear Valve's digital service has a "monopoly" on the download market, according to MCV.

Sources claimed Steam serves 80 per cent of the PC download sector, and shops are worried that selling games with Steam tech built-in pushes users towards only buying games through Valve.

"If we have a digital service, then I don't want to start selling a rival in-store," the digital boss at one of the biggest UK games retailers told MCV."

80%
Thats grounds for intervention for it being a monopoly.

Despite the fact that Valve are being cunts, does it really matter? The game was only pulled because it caught attention, it'll probably be put back on once people stop caring and it'll slip by unnoticed. Unreal pulled their name from things associated with it and no one threw a hissyfit.

The truth is, everyone knows they have a monopoly but everyone refused to act cause they liked it. But if Valve chooses to be a monopoly and be picky on what gets on its stores, that creates a big problem. Therefore its time for people to act.

Exactly, valve or steam doesn't fucking manage the greenlight. So why would they target one game out of the five thousand others? Can't be SJW's because as I said: several thousand other games to choose from, many less obscure and dumb as hatred. Can't be for controversy because it was on greenlight, a place where steam barely cares about what goes so there's no special treatment.

So either it's just an clerical error/group idiocy in steam or they gain from it.

There is a very huge chance that you'll be scammed, then why the hell people complain? If someone told you that he bought a demo disk with one game on it and paid full price you would be forever labeled as a complete idiot.
Or you buy a bread with a label: "We might add flour and yeast later."

And there is a very huge chance the game will enter development hell and be forgotten. (sometimes that's the devs goal, never even finish the game. just get money fast then fuckoff forever).
