Curations getting deleted
26 Feb, 2023 @ 2:50am - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
With no notice to me whatsoever. I posted one for the Tabletop Simulator 1-2 years ago at February 3 following them removing the global chat after the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fiasco:
https://i.imgur.com/z73pnd9.png
I saw it was gone today on the store page, posted a new one and it has existing metrics listing 600+ views:
https://i.imgur.com/7buyWr7.png
This means me and most likely many others have officially begun getting directly censorshipped by Valve. Let me know if you notice any more curations disappearing.

FFXIV Review Out
21 Feb, 2023 @ 9:50pm - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
The game has shocking amounts of problems 10+ years later and no one seems to talk about them.

Steam in the process of censorshipping the word "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥"
23 Jan, 2023 @ 1:42pm - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
https://i.imgur.com/Khw16HY.png
Started happening 2 years ago: https://i.imgur.com/7Yt5eGm.gif
While very humbling to see Valve continue to specifically target me like this, it's starting to become very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awkward since i can't change the name even if i wanted to.
I contacted Steam and they won't even consider helping me with it either despite being solely responsible:
https://i.imgur.com/Xm3sVMW.png
Worst case, i will have to make an entirely new group.
Name suggestions?

WH40K: Darktide Closed "Beta" Concluding
16 Oct, 2022 @ 8:53am - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361210/Warhammer_40000_Darktide/
As i predicted in 2020, the game is nowhere near being ready for the release which is in a month. Here's a quick run-down:
The most basic options are missing (such as mouse sensitivity in a shooter, yes really)
DX12 is enforced, this means Windows 10 only and unsurprisingly:
It runs like absolute dogshìt at the best of times.
Due to the new class system, none of the protagonists have any personality whatsoever and 99% of all voice actors are British.
Sending of information is enabled by default and can't be disabled before launching the game. Crashes are also sent without consent even if you click "close" on the "what happened?" window.
The in-game chat is censored to high-heaven and back. You can't type common words like "Sniper", "Kill", "Flamer" or "Bloody".
About half of the player base are experiencing critical bugs or consistent crashes, including blue screens of death.
Progression is flat-out broken for 25% of people on-top of being a complete and utter joke.
The gameplay loop is incredibly repetitive and boring, none of the nuance or content to compete with Vermintide.
Currently zero map variety. It's all in the glummy city sewer aesthetic.
Stats on weapons are randomized.
There's no option to play without EAC.
Has the same wide range of peer-to-peer connectivity issues that plagued the initial release of Vermintide.
There's no matchmaking or class balancing.. This means you're frequently going to get 4 people playing the same class.
Wide range of GPU's are reporting senseless 99-100% usage even in the menus.
Servers are extremely unstable and constantly drop your connection despite low population numbers.
As much as 8-15 GB worth of game files and EAC is not removed when you uninstall it on Steam, officially classifying the game as Bloatware.
And much more. The game is currently in a proof of concept stage and is about 1-3 years away from being ready for release. This will be the third time in a row Fatshark knowingly releases a completely broken & unfinished game.

Domina Dev Banned Under False Pretenses
3 Sep, 2022 @ 4:43pm - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
Here's a timeline of events for those that haven't kept up:
1. Developer works on the game as normal. Rarely, they would sneak in small sniplets of text at the bottom in some patchnotes containing personal opinions or ramblings about certain subjects ranging from politics to how everyone plays too much video games or telling people not to listen to others online, including him.
2. Early in August, one of these ramblings would reach critical mass by triggering X amount of liberals that immediately began spreading the news about these sniplets of text and how triggering/wrong they were, organizing groups of people to launch coordinated harassment. This quickly escalated into extremely large-scale mobs attacking the developer anywhere they could and review-bombing the game to oblivion:
https://i.imgur.com/LFo43FY.png
3. Developer being solo / a very small team couldn't keep up moderating the forum and alongside the stress, they made retaliatory strong language to the tidal wave of trolls flooding the forum before all of a sudden, Valve kicks in the door without provocation or warning and immediately bans the developer for a week on the grounds of "strong language".... In a forum that already has sensitivity warnings / age restriction:
https://i.imgur.com/PfKF5Pz.png
https://i.imgur.com/sy0n5t2.png
4. They would also begin to mass-ban tons of the reviewers leaving political rant-filled recommendations. Being a coordinated mob, they saw this and eventually switched over to spamming reviews to rage on how the developer "cut content from the game", a 100% fabricated story built upon the developer previously creating a temporary beta branch of the game to test DLC content - which was later made into DLC, costing less than 0.8€ each. Made a thread about this here:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SListingService/discussions/1/3435703754810723454/
5. Since being banned in early August, two Valve employee named "Sniper" and "Chell" entered the scene shortly after and begun to zealously turn the entire forum into a barcode, mass-banning people for the slighest reasons and deleting plethoras of threads:
https://i.imgur.com/PSSlqRD.png
https://i.imgur.com/ax5x0MQ.png
Their profiles:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199381196225
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198433211641
Sniper is by far the worst offender and shockingly enough, he was created when all of this begun to go down in August:
https://i.imgur.com/9aOGR9O.png
There was two particularly concerning things that happened during this entire charade, being that tons of people got full-on profile bans for something they said in a forum (see second picture, number for name = profile ban).
The other that anyone who had any sort of logical argument like "Don't see the big deal, just text in patchnotes while we get shoved liberal stuff actual inside other games" would get you guaranteed banned.. All in a forum where you needed to own the game in order to post.
6. August31 / September 1, the developer released an update for the game:
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/9426847/
Shortly thereafter after getting their ban extended for unspecified reasons, they accidentally unbanned themselves and apologized:
https://i.imgur.com/Opqi6TG.png
7. September 3, two days later after making that update for the game and the associated announcement, Valve would permanently ban him:
https://i.imgur.com/sZKSoFO.png
Their reasoning? He moderated his own forum and the announcement above "includes insults targeting another person", which is now removed where a transvestite streamer was named. Here's the original post in full and it's link:
https://i.imgur.com/7PsC950.png
https://steamcommunity.com/games/535230/announcements/detail/3364773404470226932
"Oh my gosh, well saying that about the streamer wasn't very nice."
They quite literally just quoted them:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/tna0jv
If you contact Steam Support asking about moderation, they will tell you this:
https://i.imgur.com/WyLn0q9.png
And i quote:
"We give developers control over their own community hub, including discussions and user-generated content."
Additionally, you are allowed to discuss public figures by law as outlined by the First Amendment.
What Valve just did was nothing short of a politically-fueled hitjob against someone they were actively conducting business with.
TL;DR: Multiple Valve employees stepped in to clean house whilst holding a clear liberal agenda in the process and later perma-bans a developer for completely fabricated reasons.

Dark Souls 3 multiplayer back up

It only took them like 5-6 months.
The staggering incompetency of their own developers not having the slightest clue about their own code to require half a year to do a security hotfix just baffles me and it explains why every single port they do have been outsourced & done terribly.

Nexusmod.com banning modders changing certain textures

Some guy made a mod that changed rainbow flags into american ones for the latest spiderman game and got immediately perma-banned:
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/nexus-mods-bans-spider-man-remastered-modder-for-erasing-pride-flag
Naturally, all methods of leaving feedback or comments in regards to this were disabled with any attempts to go around it (like making a forum thread) gets you banned instantly and much akin to the battlefield debacle, they encourage anyone who doesn't agree with this course of action to delete their accounts.

Asset flips on Steam: Are they still a thing?
26 Jul, 2022 @ 4:25pm - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
Way back in 2017, Valve made public statements on their commitment to showing zero tolerance for asset flips/cloned games:
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-09-27-valve-removes-173-asset-flipping-games-from-steam
Is this still being enforced to this day in any capacity? ♥♥♥♥ no:
https://i.imgur.com/OaV6YvF.png
While Steam Greenlight had problems, ♥♥♥♥ like this would NEVER have reached the storefront legitimately.

Valve has begun legally threatening workshop downloaders
3 Jun, 2022 @ 6:32am - Coe✔️[Quality Control]
If you don't know what a workshop downloader is, they're very useful tool for regular users and server owners alike to download mods manually. This lets you have back-ups in case any given game/mod update leads to crashes/save corruption/compatibility problems which is very common.
GOG users heavily depended on these to get various "steam-only" mods using this since third party websites like NexusMods lack a lot of stuff and are rarely up-to-date. You could also download steam workshop items straight into emulators/safe boxes to check for malware, archive versions of any given mod/workshop article for safe-keeping or continue developing them in case they are abandoned by the original creators.
No more of this, says Valve:
https://www.reddit.com/r/swd_io/comments/uy55qg/
It is hands-down the hardest gut punch they have ever done to the modding community and it is a 100% stark contrast to the original virtues Valve used to boast standing for.
