Apparently the Steam Workshop can be pretty based.

I'm permabanned on XCOM 2 forums, for mentioning their parent company too many times in relation to their shitty gamebreaking launcher. All I did there was help people troubleshoot, direct people toward the alternative mod launcher (letting you actually play the game), and such. I'd say I was incredibly positive in my occasional posting there, but I also called out Take Two, and had to go. They claimed they got me for 'discussing moderation,' for calling out their bullshit too, even though there's no stated rule for that.
Basically, I got the Steam forum ban equivalent of resisting arrest. Why were they arresting me? No reason, but I resisted. I think I was permabanned when someone singled me out and asked me why I had been banned, and I answered. Boom, discussing moderation. Was the other user punished in anyway? Nope. Fucking bullshit, lol.
So glad the AML is a thing, one day my entire mod list just stopped working without any reason. Never looked back after a short search for the "alternative" option.
AML is great, and that was pretty much 90% of my posting on the Steam forums.
"Yeah Firaxis/2K/TakeTwo hate you and broke the game you paid for, use AML." ad infinitum.
Seriously, though, AML is amazing. Very well put together launcher, and the sorting options are great.
"Here's a new update to the game that came out 8 years ago!"
"My game no longer works, what did you change?"
"Nothing, it's work on the launcher so our other games can also be run from it."
"Ok, but I can't launch X-Com 2 anymore."
