PlzGivHugs comments on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

They provide a bunch of other services tied in, like the reviews, Workshop, and most infamous, guides and forums. While the reviews and Workshop tend to not be too bad (although still often not great) the forums and guides tend to be completely unmoderated and as a result, devolve into spam and extremism.

That must be why I have no idea what any of this is about. In the ~20 years I’ve used Steam, I almost never frequent the forums or use guides unless I have a game-stopping problem.

So I guess it was a good unintentional decision to not care about anything else except the games and the mods.
