New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan sent Valve a letter decrying the vast amount of white supremacist imagery in its user generated content and community spaces.

Well because uhmm. Gamers just use it ironically you know. Free speech. Elon Musk help me, they want to persecute gamers. Gamers.

      There is no reason a PC game has to use Steam. To reach a console audience you have no choice but to give that 30 percent to PS or Xbox.

      Steam has features that does not help a specific game that players like to use, like game streaming, library sharing, remote play together. Which is why a player might prefer Steam to Origin let's say

          There is no reason to exclusively be on Steam. But yeah a game not launching on Steam probably won't get popular unless has a giant company like Activision or Riot behind it.

          Epic has spent many millions of exclusives but even after 2 years does not have some of the features Steam has so I'll only use it if they literally give me a game for free (which happens often)

          If possible I get games on Itch.io or GOG for DRM free copies

      unless you thoroughly reformat and factory reset your PC

      how do they ensure that?
