Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
People ~~never~~ usually never vote with their wallet and gaming industry is way too big for people voting with their wallet to even matter, since it's not a niche hobby. So bad press is the best outcome possible.
The negative press you speak of leads to the same collective action you said people never do lol so voting with ones wallet does work
Someone had to buy those games in the first place to leave those negative reviews on Steam.
