Comment on Total War Warhammer 3 devs will remove Steam users starting boycotts
Pyrozo007@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoOkay, but surely we agree that forum posts calling to boycott the game are reasonable to remove? If I made a game and had a forum for it, I would ban users posting calling to boycott the game.
Complaints about bugs, lack of quality, constructive criticism are all completely fair, but using the forum as a platform to campaign against the very game?
Considering it’s a steam forum too, it’s like entering a shop and telling other customers not to buy the wares.

Tbh? No, not really at all. If your playerbase is so upset with you that they are calling for a boycott within a third party forum you do not own and are required to maintain to sell your game at the forum store, where boycott discussion isnt a site rule, not only do you really not have much ground to stand on besides being pissy that people dont like your game, youre kicking the hornets nest doing that.
Its the steam forums. As in, the forums where you discuss the product youre buying with other potential and actual buyers. If you cannot be honest about the quality of the wares, you cannot trust the storefront.
I get why they banned those people, but in the sense that I get why a piece of shit gets physical with someone for making a good point in an argument. Youre upset theyve made a point you cant rebut. I get that. Youre still a piece of shit for shoving them.
