It's in black and white up there. Valve have turned their noses up and said 'strawberry float it, do what you want we're not moderating anymore.' It's the same attitude twitter and YouTube use to excuse themselves from responsibility when, for example, millions of bots manage to sway the election process of the most powerful country in the world.
It's lazy, it's harmful and it's strawberry floating irresponsible.

I'm pretty sure this is just in response to the blow back from banning a bunch of anime games for showing boobs, but allowing games like the Witcher to show boobs.
I really doubt many elections are going to be swayed by some indie steam game.

Once again for those in the cheap seats, this is the owner of the biggest market for PC games literally stating they are no longer monitoring their store for offensive and abusive content.
Like the example I used purely for illustrative purposes, this is another example of tech companies creating a place where abusive content can flourish and washing their hands of responsibility for it.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, do you feel they're using the anime tiddies 'controversy' as a convenient excuse to simply blanket step back from all moderation duties?

Isn't Anime Tiddies all they moderate now though?

Making games isn't the same thing as making twitter bots, your games actually have to be good for people to play them, and that takes time, effort and skill. There are also loads of games that are violent, but inciting hatred is illegal in pretty much every country I'm aware of, so I doubt we'll see some game where you have to build and manage your own Islamic State anytime soon.

I rarely actually look at the steam store anymore, it just isn't worth it. I either go looking for a specific thing or activate a key and go.
