OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
Given the volatility in recent Epic Game Store related threads we have decided that some clearer guidelines are required to cultivate healthier discussion.

Do not enter these threads in bad faith. If we conclude that your goal is to misrepresent the concerns of other users or rile people up, you will be moderated. Intent matters here. Honest questions or commentary about the differences and similarities between the Epic Games Store and other storefronts are fine. Deliberately and dismissively attempting to troll concerned members on those topics is not okay. These discussions must be held in good faith and in a civil manner.
As a reminder, antagonizing or engaging in personal attacks on other members is still against the rules. We have a large community with a wide range of preferences and personal priorities. Not everyone will feel the same way as you do on any given topic. If you feel a post is breaking a rule please report it and do not respond with hostility. If you choose to engage do so politely. We always check to see which users have a history of trouble in this area.
It is perfectly acceptable to want to wait for a game to be released on the storefront of your preference (ex: "I'll just wait for the Steam release.") It is not acceptable to troll threads because of storefront exclusivity timed or otherwise (ex: "So the real PC release is going to be a year later.") The latter is needlessly inflammatory and distracts from discussion. We will be scrutinizing these posts more closely going forward.
Do not advocate, defend, or admit to piracy under any circumstances. This is explicitly against our Terms of Service. There are no justifications that will make this acceptable.
Addendum: It's fine and often healthy to be critical of media coverage (ex: "I don't think this article is good and here's why"), but please avoid going down any rabbit holes with excessive vitriol and conspiracy theories (ex: "This outlet is clearly paid off because I don't agree with their coverage"). We've long had a general policy against hyperbolical vilification of the media and that rule has not been suspended.

wow, thanks FranticF5er for copy and pasting those totally relevant points to a thread about a CEOs tweets as to their business justifications.

I mean, I was going to buy his tweet, but if I can't be bothered to wait for it to arrive on reddit later, I might just pirate it now

I cant get behind making fun of the guy committing suicide.

It's one thing joking about you guys riding glass encrusted dildos to death and some poor guy in anguish that felt the only way out of his situation was to kill himself.

I really didn't derive much pleasure from The Fallout of this recent incident

marrec leads in the opposite direction from proud women Congresswomen like Brianna Wu, unlike marrec she can sympathize with transgender people despite not being one rather than wanting them thrown in, and I quote, "the slaughter pens"

Personally I hope she's cis because she seems like a shitty role model for trans women, but it doesn't seem like there's much doubt.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Denying War Crimes, Conspiratorial Rhetoric, and Trolling Over Multiple Posts in this Thread; History of Similar Behavior and Account in Junior Phase

I never said the Syrian uprising was started by the worst groups in the region. I'm simply saying that the Obama Administration with Hillary at the helm of the State Dept. didn't want the U.S. to get directly involved in the civil war so they supplied every crazy jihadist group in the region with military supplies in the hopes that they'd be able to topple Assad's regime much like what happened to Gaddafi in Libya (which is now run by crazy jihadists).

But with Assad's regime able to beat back the rebels (some good but most bad, Assad's regime never butchered Christians in the country like what many of the rebel groups have been doing the past several years), most candidates would be ordering strikes on Damascus right now and we'd have Libya all over again.

Btw, there's no proof that Assad's regime used chemical weapons. Do you still think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?

I think some Nuremberg defendants had less charges against them than this ban message.

woah yikes, it was a perma, i had just seen they were banned again in the women sexualized thread but it was their own thread:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/looks-like-valve-keeps-on-wanting-the-visual-novel-money-while-being-hostile-to-them-featuring-queer-characters-see-the-gol-article-in-the-op.123352/

User Banned (Permanent): Excusing content that depicts sexualised minors. History of severe infractions.

That being said, I do think that there is an argument to be made that this does not fall under Steam's enforceable guidelines so I would be genuinely surprised if it stays off the store. My larger point was just that I don't think the LGBT nature of the content is what got it removed, but rather the potential sexualization of minors.

The thing that you are missing is that VN / Dating Sims are played a whole lot by teenagers a lot of whom are queer , and when it comes to depiciting underage girls with "big anime tiddies" for striaght dudes just about anything files on steam and every god dam three days a fuck load of them are landing on steam just fine .

But the minutes it features teenager + queer cast (especially when it's girl on girl / feature a trans woman teenager in the story ) lately those titles have been facing an incresingly baffling cycle of rejections regardless of who the developper was .

So basically pedo shit for striaght dudes ? fine
Straight teenagers Story even with nudity ? fine gets droped on the store no questions asked
Queer teens ? What the fuck heeeelll noooo !

That's the feeling we are getting with Valve's recent behavior.

TL:DR : Valve could we avoid yet another generation of queer teens self loathing like crazy waaay into their early adulthood because any romance between queer teen is denied publication ?

Let the ban record show that while I may have a history or transphobia (who should listen to medical professionals when tumblr is like, right there?) much like Tulsi Gabbard I have evolved into a hot young congresswoman who's running for president.

Please, ask me anything about my problematic past and I will have an answer befitting the politics of whoever is standing around me.

how is it conspiratorial rhetoric to say that the US offers support - up to and including supplying arms - to insurgents in countries they consider hostile?
