英國衛報：Steam應該幫開發者刪負評，這是玩家的訴求！

This episode focuses on how Steam has once again become the center of public controversy. The trigger was a report published by The Guardian accusing the platform of “enabling hatred and bigotry,” which sparked intense debate between players and developers.The article attempts to link negative reviews received by developers to so-called “culture wars.” However, looking at actual examples and review content, the vast majority of player feedback remains focused on the quality of the games themselves, rather than the identity or personal beliefs of the developers.Blaming commercial failure on the platform environment or the player base is, at its core, a narrative designed to avoid confronting product shortcomings, rather than a rational reflection on game design and market feedback.Steam’s long-established open review system has allowed players to influence the market through their real experiences — enabling high-quality games to rise to the top while naturally filtering out products that fail to attract players.Some developers, unable to accept negative feedback, interpret normal market outcomes as “persecution.” This reflects a growing disconnect between creators and the market.Ultimately, the core issue in this controversy is not whether the platform is “enabling hatred,” but whether some developers are willing to face a simple reality: the fate of a game is determined not by media narratives, but by the players themselves. 00:00 “Hatred and Bigotry on Steam”? 02:01 How The Guardian Misrepresented Steam 11:25 The Root Cause of Developer Cognitive Dissonance 13:32 The Industry Needs More Platforms Like Steam My X: @ChannelOLD9 https://x.com/ChannelOLD9
