Curiously enough, Valve themselves locked the thread pretty fast.

The sanction mentality is supposed to turn Russians against Putin, but it actually unifies Russia. Good job libbies.
Russians must be thrilled “oh no, you’re going to punish us by withholding your mass brainwash propaganda media. How will I ever survive?”
It doesn't even make sense. Imagine if your teacher said "I'm going to come to your house and break one of your video games every week until your dad votes for who I want". Is that going to make you resent your dad for voting how he wants, or your teacher for being a psychopath? For almost everyone, it's the latter.
I don't know how these people think that making themselves the bad guy is supposed to get anyone on their side.
It doesn't make any sense, but you see it all the time.
There were a bunch of bicyclists protesting driver's not sharing the road a few years back where I live. They did so by blocking intersections and making a general pest of themselves.
Putting aside the fact that most people hate bicyclists because they're rude and don't follow any of the rules of the road themselves, all this did is pissed off everyone they encountered and didn't earn them any sympathy at all.
The strategy of making my problem with you a third party's problem by taking it out on them and hoping they will blame you instead of me has always been fucking retarded.
if you dress it up enough, for almost everyone it's the former. if it's some random psycho's doing, you get angry at the psycho. if it's an entire way of living and worldly system, you get angry at the victim.
just look at covid. and you don't even have to look at the insane AHH GET VACCINATED people - you can look at entirely normal people, who would get angry if you were going to a grocery store with them but refused to put on a mask. nobody gets angry at the psychopaths forcing everyone to mask up, they get angry at you for not going along to get along.
The vaccine thing at least makes sense if you assume benevolence where benevolence does not exist. There was a neutral threat there: COVID. It wasn't "us vs them", it was everyone vs nature with some disagreement within the "everyone" faction.
Here, it's literally just humans fucking over other humans because they don't like a third group of humans. Pure, obvious malice. No existential threat, no risk of harm being mitigated in any way. Benevolence can't be assumed because the actions don't follow. Non sequitur is not a benevolent thing. At best it's neutral.
Pretty easy to deal with when the West's main export is imaginary bullshit like copyright and "services".
The West defeated the USSR by being nice.
The idiot asshats running foreign policy these days decided it would be a good idea to do the opposite.
It's like you know those ornery fucks that are historically famous for tolerating any amount of pain and coming together to do whatever it takes to punish an aggressor? Lets aggro them to teach them a lesson.
GG, retards.
Seriously, be nice to Russia, leave them alone, it will probably fall apart by itself for lack of purpose.
Napoleon: "It's different this time!"
Hitler: "It's different this time!"
United States: "It's different this time!"
The cold war was a real war. We spent a lot of time and money attempting to damage Russia and her interests.
The USSR was most effectively defeated by their own KGB.
they were defeated by the clock running out on their fake and gay economic and social order, much like we're rapidly approaching ours.
The point is that the populace wasn't united behind the whole apparatus and was kind of very much against it. And the apparatus itself was massively disjointed and working against itself. KGB generals wanted nice cars, soft toilet paper and jeans just as much as, if not more, than the general populace.
Had the US tried actual aggression in the 80s, the populace (as well as the KGB) would have had a unified purpose which superseded caring about having nice cars, soft toilet paper and jeans. All that is secondary to crushing the aggressor. It's a historical thing imho. Russia is pretty much defined by a model of growth against existential threats from outside aggressors. I think Siberia is pretty much the only place they took over without someone from there trying to raid their lands (and enslave their people) first and even then I don't really know.
Just as an example, the Crimean tartars burned down Moscow about 400+ years ago, which is why Crimea was some hundred+ years later conquered by Russia. Even having your capital burned down is nothing, really, in the scheme of things.
So this whole "lets scare those russkies with a couple dozen ATACMS!" is doubly retarded. You could literally wipe out all of Moscow from the face of the Earth and that will just make every single Russian determined forever to put eventual boots on the ground in Washington, like they did with Paris after Napoleon burned down Moscow.
Oh no where shall Russians get software now?
Valve sold this person a product that was intentionally sabotaged by the developer, what kind of support do they think he'd get?
Valve refusing to do anything is what I expect from a company that donates to the DNC and woke orgs, they likely have not taken action because no money was spent too.
If no money was spent on Steam, it's annoying valve is involved at all. I'm not sure when valve became the internet police. That is all.
It's one of the games on Nextfest, so they may have been banned after trying the demo.
