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.

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.
