PLZ Add Publisher Launcher, it’s unfair that friends find me on steam and not my super favorite publisher fancy go clicky web 3.0 cloud store with digital lucrative dlc lootboxes for my simple consoomer satiation.
PLZ make it so if cheats r detect that GameApp.exe explodes the battery in their laptop.
Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.
The worst part about it is that they usually pretend to be a queer person demanding queer representation in games in the most rude way possible and then people take this shit serious and take it out on actual queer people.
I mean, considering how awful the kind of folks who would do such a thing are, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that’s probably the ulterior goal. Getting Steam points is just a bonus on top of helping convince other abusive right winger dipshits that queer people need to be attacked because of the fake queer people they made up.
On steam you can give awards to people, one of which is a clownface. If you receive a reward, you gain steam points which you can use to purchase profile customizations, emotes, steam startup movies and maybe more idk. So People started spamming ridiculous shit on steam to be a clown and receive those clown emotes by people taking them serious. The best move is to report them, block them and move on. They also quite often pretend to be marginalized groups to as a “bonus” make those groups look bad which kinda brings despair to me when I see people actually taking them serious and not realizing it’s all fake.
But some people are really weird about “owning” games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price…
And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.
even if it’s not. There’s just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There’s a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.
Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.

Scratch that, explode the Solomonite.
Lol, someone loves the taste of boots
Where do I even start with that kind of ghoulish bootlickery?
Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

Surprising number of people taking this seriously.
Trolling is a art form
plot twist the poster is Empress
Missing the astrology references and transphobic remarks
I’m broke and evil now
Please don’t take Clown farmers serious:

Oh, wow, I haven’t used Steam in years so I didn’t know that it’s like that now.
I’m glad to hear that broke and evil are two different types of people. I used to think broke people were evil.
Least reactionary gamer
I’m gonna hope it’s a troll.
