You're being overtly black and white about this.
My position may appear overtly black and white, but there is a good reason for this. Let me explain.
There are currently many popular game distribution services. Of all of them, Steam is the one which is far better at fulfilling everything I want from such a service than any other offer. In fact, I don't really see a drawback at all to this type of laissez-faire "curation" (or lack thereof) for how I use the service, while I have a very clear idea of the drawbacks of any other option that is currently out there.
So yes, I do see this issue as black or white, because - at this point - no one has demonstrated a "grey" solution which works for me.
If someone were to actually demonstrate this "happy medium" you talk about, then I would have no issue with applauding it.
That the company that you are defending in every single thread gets profit from a game that parodies one of the highest causes of death in the world ? Maybe???
In this context he is defending this practise over the basic ethics and I have seen him in other threads defending Steam no matter what, not so long ago in the review bomb solution thread. So yeah, except me to have some kind of record of what do I expect when talking to him, that's all.
You seem quite upset about something, calm down.
The reason I often end up "defending Steam" in these threads is because the criticism leveled at the platform is commonly poorly thought out, and because Valve's approach to problem solving and their idea of what an ideal platform would be resonates with my own.
What I mean is that yes, I absolutely believe that giving people more information and empowering them to cater their experience to their liking is a far better solution than either censoring games or censoring reviews. This has absolutely nothing to do with it being Valve who is making those decisions, and everything to do with my basic convictions on what makes a good game distribution platform.
Clearly, you have different ideas about that. What I don't understand is why you insist Steam -- the only popular platform which operates in a way I appreciate -- has to change, while there are already tons of platforms out there which operate in the way you prefer.
