it’s supposed to connect ‘steam’ with ‘extremism’ instead of something like Twitter, Truth, or Fox to coincide with their recent ‘fact finding mission’
Steam is very much connected to extremism. Far right extremisn to be precise.
Take a look at any Steam forum and you’ll see. The reason is because Valve hardly ever hires moderators and delegates responsibility to the developer who created the game the forum is about.
I think German speaking Steam has a total of two global (i.e. paid by Valve) moderators? Not sure where I’ve heard this though.
This actually true, even though I swear it didn’t used to be like that. There are sooo many far right people on the forums and in the discussions. I was looking up a game where one of the female characters has the option to date her female friend. I went to the discussion tab to see if anyone knew what choices you had to pick to unlock it. A whole bunch of trolls calling the game “woke” and disgusting for hating an OPTIONAL story arc. Even on games like Life is Strange, which isn’t a new game and is pretty well known for having lgbtq elements, tons of far right people gay-bashing in the discussions tab.

I remember at least one steam group dedicated to determining the “woke” rating of games
Yup. It’s utterly ridiculous.
Absolutely, here is RFK on Sept 10 saying they cause mass shootings. (Completely ignoring the ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE US)

Also Congress has called for the leaders of discord, steam, Reddit and twitch to come and testify about extremism.

I don’t see any of the social media heads who donated to Trump’s inaugural on that list.
That’s unexplainable textile mill fires. Steam is connected to unexplainable textile mill fires, not
autismshit video games.
