Geeks + Gamers › Forums › Gaming › General Gaming Discussion › Games who defend SBI and DEI punishing Steam users
Firstly I am a long time member of the GG forums but normally I just lurk and read, but this happened to me over the last few days or so and needs to brought to the attention of Gamers every where that staff working for games tainted by the Sweet Baby Inc and other companies push the DEI mandate in games are using dishonest tactics to shut us gamers up on Steam discussions by causing our steam accounts to get restricted or even worse.
I have been a member of Steam for nearly 20 years and have been a gamer since the days of the C64. But recently I have made a few posts about my feelings and responding to posts about SBI and DEI in the discussion sections for games that are tainted with SBI and or the DEI mandate only to find mine and other users posts get removed and in several circumstances me and other users get banned from the discussion sections by the staff working for these games.
Now here is where the problem starts because should a Steam user get banned from a few of discussions for games for doing nothing more in some cases then just posing the question if SBI was involved with a game or even just answering a question along those lines, said user will find that their account will be placed in restricted mode where the users profile gets removed from public view and the user can’t use any community features like posting in discussions, making game guides, leaving reviews for games, uploading mods for games, giving steam points rewards to other steam users or even editing their own profile.
This is how these games companies are trying to silence us gamers because should we speak out we get punished despite breaking none of Steams rules or guidelines and these bans are not given by any members of Steams staff.
I found myself in this very predicament despite not breaking any of Steams rules or guidelines I was banned from a two discussion sections (Homeworld 3 & The Pale beyond) and without warning found my Steam account placed in to restricted mode, I tried to appeal to Steam and was told twice that the bans was nothing to do with Steam and that nothing could be done I felt that the people who read the appeals ether didn’t care or was on the side of SBI / DEI. Lucky for me however my appeal to the response of my second appeal was read and handled by someone with morals and responded by removing all restrictions and could understand how these bans aren’t warranted.
I feel a light needs to be shone on this matter because despite this member of Steams support saying he will raise the issue can we really be sure anything will be done.
