The argument against censorship is that
the government shouldn't behave like a “nanny state,” deciding
for the individual what is and isn't appropriate for them, “forcing
their morality” on the rest of us. Many agree that the government
shouldn't be able to dictate personal choice, so it's easy to then
conclude that complete freedom is the correct answer. However, there
are also serious repercussions for absolute, complete freedom—we
often take our freedoms for granted, but we also fail to notice that
people in civilized societies don't actually have complete freedom.
We obviously have laws that we must obey—it is illegal to drive as
fast as you want on the road or take something from a store that you
haven't paid for. Laws and restrictions exist to keep us civilized,
for without them, anarchy would result with everyone determining
their own personal truth about anything and everything: Why
shouldn't I be able to drive as fast as my car can go? Why do
I have to pay for that when I really need
it? Yet what does all this have to do with getting rid of
censorship? How is total, unrestricted freedom on Steam a bad thing?
Some will argue: If it's not hurting anyone, what's the problem?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
