I agree with you, Joel should live, so we have the chance to play him with a female companion like Ellie again. The name calling should have been removed, Im not quite sure if Steam Moderation would tolerate it from the queer community.
I agree with you that for example trans-identification and furries are mental health disorder and think that this is not an insult, but rather an analysis that invites solutions.
I think the best compromise would be to offer a character creator or customization for every game and a setting where sexual preference can be modified. That would benefit all gamers.
I myself am interested in lesbian and bi-sexual female game characters and polygamy, having multiple female romance options.
I would like to get a high quality game with Samus Aran, where her helmet can be taken off.
Im looking forward to play with Jesse Faden in Control and hope that she is the player character in Control 2.

You may be correct, the dragon age moderators probably gave me the boot instead of the actual steam content moderators themselves. I forgot they have that independent control over their games community even though it's under the steam umbrella. And yes i was being called every negative name in the book from incel to bigot to crust old white dude and everybody was cool with it. I said no one likes lgbtq material and called it a mental health disorder and i got booted really quick. The echo chamber these thin skinned weirdos live in is dangerous. Criticism should be allowed on both sides but i'm quickly finding out. I feel mass effect slid pretty far especially with andromeda. I've never had a problem with games that have female leads, samus aran from metroid and Jess from control are two of my favorite characters and games. BUT what i do have a problem with is when companies purposely remove a white male lead to replace them with a black trans person to fill a diversity quota.

If a company wants to create a brand new IP and fill it with gay minority female characters they have every right to do so. We've seen it fail very badly with the likes of concord and dustborn, which sold very poorly but i heard were ok games. But i HATE when they take an established franchise like The Last of Us and quickly kill of the straight white male lead and replace him with gay females. It's disrespectful to the fanbase and people who helped make the franchise sucessful in the first place. Also agree about steam compatability and controller support. Unless i Use steam i almost always run into controller issues and support issues. And i think you are correct that EA is going to close bioware soon, maybe before mass effect 4 or maybe after depending on the sales.... it's not looking good though.

What are you referring to Gopher?

I still have to buy games on Steam because only on Steam the controllers I use are supported for every game. I wish other platforms would get introduced and could offer competition to Steam.
Developers outside of the USA have a real opportunity to take over the gaming industry and indie studios can grow into real powerhouses. Steam is the best platform for that with Early Access and Community Feedback. It should stay that way and not get censored and monetized.
I am not so sure EA will give BioWare another chance, EA does openly support queer tyranny and threaten their own profitability, but they laid off many developers from BioWare in the last years.
I agree with you that most companies will realize their mistakes with discrimination against white characters and hopefully correct the course and then we will get another golden age of gaming.

Thats exactly what Steam did Eternal
