TBH the Steam community pages are some of the most deranged and childish I've seen. They are echo chambers for neckbeard incels who wrongfully think their childish behaviour is cool.

I don't know of an entity that engages in more defamation activities than the Anti Defamation League.

At least after October 7th they kind of reminded themselves they didn't exist to cancel people denying the woke agenda, so now they've been going against the "Queers for Palestine" crowd.

I guess the heat in the middle east must be toning down a bit, if they need to go after the videogame industry to stay relevant.



They actually edited their DA score followin backlash.

Wait they edited the score? AFAIK the review score is still the same. There was just one other staffer who wrote an oped claiming the game isn't that good.

Im sorry. IGN edited their score to a 7 along with an article. PCGamer only wrote an article. But they're both backtracking.

What you mean, it’s still a 9 on the website??
Maybe I should've checked sorry. They issued a statement which makes it FEEL more like a 7 out of 10. Mea culpa!



Of course they won't edit the actual number because they'll get stalked by EA. But the simple fact that they are retracting their turd should be a writing on the wall for future "reviews" from these idiots.

Other access media should take note. You lie, you fry.

PC Gamer said:
The Anti-Defamation League, a US organization that aims to combat antisemitism and support Israel
So by "normalizing hate and extremism" pretty likely they mean to condemn the genocide of Gaza.

I don't understand why PC Gamer wrote an article about this.

The ADL is unfortunately not a reliable source to make that kind of accusations, they're just trying to blackmail Steam into taking more DEI contractors to wreck the company.

They have basically no curation.

You can see Nazi, white supremacy, etc pages and games all the place there.
In fact the way the platform was created support that echo chambers.

It is not something new.
