I don’t think they should offer anything other than off-topic for non gaming discussion, it keeps all the crazies in a nice little containment zone to fight amongst themselves and the last thing they need to do is encourage off topic politics even more with its own forum.

its sooo annoying just let them do their ♥♥♥♥ politics in separate forum. its better that way so its not convoluted

We already have politics on TV This is Valve a game business with Steam being the game client.
Valve already has to pay for lisenses and pass legislation to do this. Politics and games dont mix never going to happen

We don't need a new sub-forum, we just need the "no politics or religion" rule back

You take it way too far... we had that rule in place for years and the forums were a far better place. Now it's just political and religious chaos.

There's a reason almost all communities don't allow those two topics to be discussed

Cool beans, people don't want to deal with it in their community spaces where they're there to hang out, chill and do other things.

If the forum is named "By Idiots, For Idiots", and all political discussion is contained there, I'm all for it.

Well yaaa but steam won't do informal language, that's for reddit but still so annoying to see politics on off topic forum when I just wanna look for something else... 🙄 The dumbest thing is those idiots always fall for rage baiters and award farmers 🤡

You're right.

Everybody who makes a post which inflames the culture war deliberately deserves a permanent community ban from Steam.

That would only work if they banned every developer who did the same thing and that would never happen since several western major AAA studios insert vile leftist politics into their products. The games that don’t promote hateful political views don’t have forums full of culture war arguments.

Bro, if I said that the theme of one of my books is identity in a philosophical lens, thousands of people would immediately be calling it woke because of identity "politics" when the whole theme of identity is really someone being the only one of their kind wondering who they are and why they even exist in the first place.

It would be derided as "Vile leftist politics" regardless of content. Even if the book itself was just one giant philosophical question about whether or not a sapient machine even counts as a lifeform in and of itself. You know, classical sci-fi stuff.

You do a particularly great job at exposing how the left falls into strawman arguments over and over again. You had to bring up a nonsense point about philosophy that isn’t worth addressing because you know that I can point to countless AAA devs who have inserted culture war politics and disgusting leftists views into their game and the huge firestorm that their forum have turned into as a result.

Art can be whatever it wants to be.

"Vile leftist politics" is a phrase that shows me just how brainwashed you are into believing there's even a such thing as a left or a right.

Don't bore me ever again.
