  • On the instance lemmy.world
    The knickers of an admin had curled.
    Suggestions of a vegan cat:
    Red faced with ears of steam
    He banned their moderation team.
    Over something dramatic like that.

    An admin decree was made:
    A repeat was forbade.
    “But that wasn’t enough,”
    Some moderators said with a huff.
    Not wanting to be persecuted,
    By plebians with vegan-hate rooted
    They would make the place tamer
    By turning it into an echo chamber










  • For better or worse, the landscape has shifted since then. I can’t imagine people love Steam for being Steam, but rather for being the most consumer-friendly platform on PC.

    Refunds? No questions asked if it’s within 2 weeks and 2 hours of playtime.

    User reviews and ratings? Yes, and even comments on those reviews.

    Community content? Steam discussions, guides, art, etc. Even mods with the workshop.

    Bribes development studios for exclusivity deals? Nope! Devs can release games wherever the fuck they want.

    Platform support? PC. Not just Windows, but going out of their way to make Linux a first class citizen. They even support Crapple despite its miniscule market share among PC gamers.
