I don't follow.

You initially said whales who buy tons of games, I assume you mean individuals with 1000+ games on their steam account, buys all the dlc and mtx and loot crates, that kind of whale.

Now you are reffering to... the US government as a whale?

What are you suggesting... be done?

... and by whom?

Are you suggesting Valve functionally commit hara-kiri by ... some kind of intentionally angering the fascist government?

What are you suggesting, that Valve fund investigators to link Steam accounts to other platforms and websites, and then... report that knowledge to... the government?

They wouldn't do anything other than sue Valve out of existence for being antifa.

Valve cannot like... arrest people, issue themselves search warrants, ... and if they did set up a system to do something like this, kablamo, now it is instantly turned around to hunt down trans people after Valve is sued into a government buy out or being purchased by fucking Larry Ellison.

Please, explain to me what you are trying to suggest, I don't get it.

    I comprehend you're saying that Valve should get rid off forums and groups.

    I’m saying they can't, the “US” will

    sue Valve out of existence for being antifa.

    freeze their assets, revoke their business licences, put them on a watchlist, and deathcamp Valve & affiliates.

    Valve’s hands are fascistically tied to 🇺🇲’s RMVP.¹

    ¹ def. of RMVP

    Ooooh, ok.

    I would think that them just getting rid of much of their discussion 'zones' would be something they could do without pissing off the fascists, and also just being a net good in general...

    ... whereas if they kept all their steam groups and discussion forums, but instead, specifically began to more heavily moderate / remove right wing extremists from those discussion zones, I would think that would be much more likely to piss off the fascists.

    Basically, I don't think the fascists in government really even understand fully what Steam is, everything it does, but, if they heard it was cracking down specifically on fascists, that would draw more heat to them than if they just removed features which are, imo, just a net negative anyway.

    Did you click the “🇺🇲’s RMVP” link? Elon Musk and Barron Trump know what Steam is, they have accounts, and were both livestreaming with their accounts.
