I reported them for harassment with the following statement:
The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam’s TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.
I don’t think this is “steam allowing it” and rather steam not being able to scan all the reviews for this shit.
Reporting them and letting steam decide whether or not to take it down is the only way to know if they’re fine with it.
I wonder how many of the people following it are taking them as recommendations instead of warnings
Personally, steam reviews don’t make me want, or not want to play games. That being said, if I saw these reviews on a game that I had any interest in acquiring, I would consider it a selling point.
Normally I judge stuff for myself. I’ll watch reviews, and gameplay footage, etc before making any kind of purchasing decision. Steam reviews are usually checked, but they don’t weigh into the decision strongly enough for me to care.
With all that being said, intentionally bombing a games score en masse with either bot/alt/spam accounts just because you personally don’t like them, is seriously uncool.
Well it’s no longer pride month, so why give a fuck about your customers and fans?
So i gotta ask what that first game’s full title is
//TODO: today. Free to play game that’s about 4 hours long. Very chill vibes. I’d recommend it.
