Part 9/11:
Valve’s Support and the Resilience of Gamers
Despite the coordinated effort to silence dissent, Valve Corporation—the platform behind Steam—stood firm. They confirmed that the reports targeting the Steam curator page were resolved, and their platform continues to respect users’ freedom of expression. The official statement expressed gratitude toward Gabe Newell and Valve for maintaining an open platform, allowing the curator’s community to thrive.
The result? The Steam page continues to grow, with over a quarter of a million followers proudly demonstrating that the community’s voice remains resilient. This persistence is a testament to how devoted core gamers are to their values and to resisting industry-led cultural shifts.
