Talking about my own experience here; there are rules (ToS) which people break and then Valve ignore. Hands off is one thing but being totally nonchalant about these blatant, hate filled transgressions is another all together.
I've tried contacting gaming press about this. I contacted Valve (several times) citing their own rules, screenshots of blatant transgressions and they repeatedly closed my ticket and ignored me. I avoid buying games directly from Steam now. If I can find the screenshots later I'll update my post.
Edit: So here is the ticket I opened (this was -months- after repeatedly reporting someone spamming the N-word in the Official Steam Deck group chat for weeks).
Yeah, that is bullshit and a real shame. I think people that PvP in Arc are weak sauce anyway (it is a PvPvE game but... If you want to PvP why not a PvP game?). Hopefully further down the line something might be done to address that.
It was more like half a day and I'm sure it was a warm day but you're probably right, I'm also painfully unobservant and chances are I'd only just noticed the bottle was half empty.
Won't it just evaporate super quickly? I'm sure I left the cap off some isopropyl alcohol once and when I came back to it half the bottle hand gone! I say no.
Still waiting on that quote where I told anyone not to vote. You won’t find it, because it doesn’t exist.
My point (which I’ve been consistent about) is; that voting alone isn’t enough, not that people shouldn’t do it. If you’ve got a quote that says otherwise, I’m happy to address it. Otherwise, this is just an (intentional?) misreading of the argument.
Thanks, I really appreciate it, I'm just going to bed now but I'll be sure to check this out ASAP.
