Quoting: monnefI don't agree with censorship and my opinion is, that only a game (or any other medium) literally exciting violence in concrete context (e.g. "kill the man A today around 12" ) should be illegal and censored/removed from distribution platform like Steam. That's the sane definition of hate speech

Ever played Hitman?

Tl;dr there are two ways:
- I don't like this, let me filter it out (the right way)
- I don't like this, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY (this is fundamentally wrong and still a lot of corporations do exactly that)

Sure, there must be options to filter the content. But they should be applied for you only, not for everyone. I grew tired enough of governments blocking websites because they promote gambling, tell about drugs etc. because think of children! That's why we'll block it for everyone, seems rational. While Steam of course is not a government but rather a business with its own rules, I'm happy to see them not making the same mistakes. The filter has to be per-person only, be it parental firewall or anything else. Don't decide for others what they're allowed to see and do and everyone will be happy.

This is really good. That's what real freedom of speech means. Not creating echo chambers full of people searching for a reason to be offended but a truly open place with something for everyone. Hell, I WANT to have things I hate there because that would exactly mean that something I love and somebody else hates is also welcome. This is the only guarantee that steam is not going the wrong way and will accept whatever controversial games created. We don't want censorship in any form. We can decide for ourselves what to buy and play. We're adults. We want to be offended and let people enjoy things we personally can't or don't want. So be it.

That sounds interesting and promising indeed! There's another great (and greatly underrated, unfortunately) RTS game with newtonian physics: Star Ruler 2. I think it fell a victim of its own success in terms of innovation. It has too many completely new mechanics for a casual player like realtime budget cycles, designable ships, resource system, politics card game and whatnot. Quite a unique beast that anyone interested in RTSes, space and fresh ideas should definitely try while waiting for Remnant.

Overall, Remnant feels like an interesting take on the genre. Not that we didn't see unique names and faces of the units before (check EU4 and Star Traders: Froniters, for example) but I like the "smaller scale, richer features" approach. The game looks quite spectacular and thought out so I might even back it.

Damn, I would buy it for this rad soundtrack alone! For some reason it reminds me of the Halo's one (calm, energetic and epic at the same time) which is a masterpiece. The gameplay surely looks interesting and I loved RUINER, despite it didn't have any stealth elements. Wishlisted.

Children abuse doesn't happen in the Internet or in games. It happens in real life and most of the time among relatives. But who cares, it's much easier to ban words and throw people in jail for illegal pixels and lines. Especially when the society agrees that these pixels "encourage" and "promote" while there's zero evidence and also look at Japan sexual crime rates. Oh well.

Quoting: TheRiddickSEX!?¿ THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

I believe that's exactly what they did and was so horrified in the process that they banned everything that might look as a child.

On a positive note, the overpuritanic times are always followed by sexual revolutions. The pendulum always swings back, it's a universal law.

I only have one question: did the SC contain an inactive Bluetooth module all this time or did they manage to implement the protocol using their generic radio transmitter (i.e. not a standart BT/Wi-Fi module)? I suppose the frequencies and everything else are different so if they did that it's quite an achievement.

Quoting: tuubiOffensive things aren't automatically funny unless you're eight years old or just emotionally stunted.

It's not the things themselves, it's all the outrageous reactions of hypocrites that are funny. The thing itself is usually dumb and doesn't even deserve the attention.
