I'm going to presume you came here to advertise your Youtube link, since if you'd actually looked at the forum you'd have seen the dozens of threads about the topic.

No, no no! I never looked at the forum and that's not my YouTube channel, but hey glad for your amazingly helpful input!

Did we just go back in time a week?

No, just the typical coattail riding of other topics. Though to be honest I feel these duplicate topics purpose is to try burying the older topics, a bit sus.

I have heard news that Steam is being Censored by a 3rd party corporation is this correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlEHovdeKZw

It is.

This situation very much reminds me of Harry Flint vs the Government in a way.
Unfortunately until someone legally takes this on, it's only going to get worse.
Someone will need to become the face of this and start a legal crowd fund. That's the only way I see forward. Sadly Gabe caved like a wet noodle. I am no longer buying products on Steam going forward because I do not feel like losing access to games because of fascist groups over-reach.
This is only a sign of things to come with Steam, Gabe won't be alive forever.

When you stop buying games on affected platforms, you're quite literally giving the activist groups what they want; a quantifiable measure of success that they use to affirm that what they're doing is working. A not just that, but they use these figures as a "positive" metric to gaslight geriatric, puritanical politicians into giving them their support and promoting their agenda, and to acquire funding from large corporations and groups like the Heritage Foundation to push even more of this stuff through the system.

They just want this store to be a decent place.

Then what are we supposed to do? Just let it happen and send no market signal to Valve whatsoever so they think this is fine?!

It was a decent place. It was only degenerate if you went and turned degen mode on.
