I have recently discovered valve is promoting and sponsoring the extremist games expo known as the Game Devs of Color Expo" with evidence of their extremism being that their "code of conduct" page mentions pronouns and indicates an obsession with hate speech.
By sponsoring and promoting GDoCExpo, Valve is not only promoting corruption in the games industry and terrorism, but they are also engaged in terrorist financing.
It is time to demand an apology from Gabe Newel and to consider launching mass charge backs against valve if he refuses to apologize and reverse all transactions to any regressive leftists that he and his company made.

Honestly, sucks they are supporting it but I'm glad they are all broadcasting all in one spot. That way, I know what games to avoid like the plague.
To be honest, I do not see how you can fight against this. Even if they do sponsor them and promoting all the identity shit is not like you can move all your games from Steam. I was certain they have been heavily in to SJW stuff they just did not have a way to show it and Gabe probably does not give a crap.
What I am disapointed in is this one:
It was on my list to try games, and it did not look at all like an SJW game.
I know for a fact that Gabe personally doesn't give a shit. He's basically moved on from the company but knows it'd be retarded to give up the biggest games distribution company in the world. Nowadays he's mostly hands off except for executive decisions about the platform itself. Company policy is to pretty much just do whatever the managers feel like doing that week, but don't ever fuck up the base client distribution scheme.
It's kinda sad really. Steam could be so much bigger and better but nobody really gives a shit anymore.
All the people that cared are gone for one reason or another.
Don't buy your games from Valve. There are plenty of stores, often with better prices. Price comparison sites are a good way to find alternatives, e.g. https://isthereanydeal.com/
You might not have a choice in DRM but you don't have to give them your money.
This needs more of a signal boost so people see it. I try to buy my keys anywhere but Steam these days. I started doing that when they started charging state sales tax for purchases in my state (because I still think it's bullshit that online sale of goods can be charged tax when there's jack shit the place I live did to deserve that money), but now I do it for the additional reason that I feel there's too much woke bullshit encroaching at Valve.
If Gabe Newel does not believe in this extremist garbage, then he should apologize, fire all regressive leftists, and pay a fine to the us government consisting of double what he donated to the extremist event plus a flat rate.
I do not think he cares one way or another. He probably was passionate at one point but he has an age and I assume family and other stuff. He probably cares more about fishing then the SJW influence in games and most likely he was told that this is what the new generation of kids want.
If gabe newel cares about not getting mass chargebacks from angry customers, then he should just fire all the regressive leftists working for him for giving him bad advice and abusing his customers.
the best you can fo is not buy sjw games othef than that isnt much you can do.
Is this news?
They've been succing that china cock for years, supporting terrorists is not that far from supporting the chink reich.
I was initially annoyed by seeing the banner for this pop up on Steam when I logged in today to check my notifications, but out of curiosity I clicked over and had a look at the games. 99% of them were basically indie garbage that got their start on itch.io and aren't worth your time or money. Better to take note of the devs and publishers so you can ignore them in the future, and put the games featured in the showcase on Ignore so similar recommendations don't turn up on your feed in the future.
While there's no getting away from Steam as a platform these days, and it's still the lesser of evils (Epic, Origin, or any other storefront/launcher are universally garbage), that doesn't mean you have to directly give them your money. Use IsThereAnyDeal to find sites with the cheapest prices to buy your keys, or buy them on an alternate store like GoG, or buy directly from the publisher. Yes, it's less convenient to have your purchases scattered, but the best way to make your displeasure known is to vote with your wallet.
I'm pretty sure most of the valve / steam fanboys won't care.
They don't care about anything else shitty that company does, and they think Steam should have a monopoly.
Well, the only other option is Epic and even I can't say they're better.
They have silently retracted their BLM support, but they still went further than anyone.
Where did they apologize for defending BLM?
They didn't, they just silently deleted it all just after the #FreeFortnite campaign began.
I think it shows they never believed in it.
Epic
Origin
GoG
MS
Epic - CCP owned, former BLM supporters.
Origin - Literally EA.
GoG - Has a bad selection of titles IIRC.
MS - They're also at this expo.
It's pretty okay. It's easily the best of the alternatives.
I'd argue that they might be less pozzed than Valve.
Microsoft also abuses users who put "trump" in their username such as the apprentice fan, and they sell extremist paraphernalia: https://archive.is/70ibt

Valve shouldn't be sponsoring the games expo unless they'd also sponsor one exclusively for white game developers, but it's not terrorist financing.
These people are supporting regressive leftist riots and extremist corruption, so it is terrorist financing.
and are you going to boycott Steam? If not you either part of the problem or you dont care enough.
At this point I have decided to stop buying licenses from them.
Thanks for posting this!
