Whaaaaaat but not my tech communism fascists! Surely they are ok!

Hm I kind of don’t understand your MMORPG experience. I have never played eso so I can’t comment on that but for example gw2 has basically none of these problems. I can understand for example in FFXIV when you play dps and quene for specific dungeons or raids alone that waiting doesn’t feel nice but at the same time you can do other activities while waiting. If you play a healer or support this problem is normally mute

Except the studio behind Dave the diver is very vocal about not being indi - it’s just the graphics so everyone assumes it

No this is the exact exception from it “there are reviews which have stuff about the developer in it we should not allow it”

“Do you think the same when a developer is a fascist”

This is literally not whataboutism. The comments they want to have removed are not hateful. Because the hateful ones where removed. “The developer made fun of the death of Charlie Kirk” is not a hateful comment just a fact. Just because that fact does not matter to you or me does not make it less of a fact. “This developer is a fascist” is more hateful then the stated review above.

To be even more strict you yourself have indirectly commented on this being political

it makes very specific examples (with links) to specific games that have received negative reviews for things unrelated to the game at hand, such as antisemitism and political

So it is not whataboutism to point to other political things where steam reviews are also political and ask about them. The correct answer from you to stay in line with your argument would have to be also these, but you don’t want to do that.

That’s not whataboutism because it is a related question. You can’t make a global rule dependent on taste so if you are against these you have to be against someone being outed as fachist too. Either you allow reviews about the developer or you don’t

Running more multi box copies of gw2

Lots of mods for older games circumvent steam, so steam does not know about the game running. Famous example was Skyrim and Skyrim script extender. If this is the case with mmod idk

Well their goes FFXIV, that will be their end

Well I don’t know this spell force but in general it is a solid game, monkey island is liked by quiet a few ppl, rest is not good or known to me. Would be a hard sell for 15 tbh
