A gamer in favor of complete freedom on
Steam posted about “prudish whiners,” saying, “If they see a
game they don't like, all they have to do is not buy it.” Yet
another gamer posted, “This just makes the platform more prone to
even more garbage and Steam really doesn't need more garbage.” It
is true that people can “vote” their objections by simply not
purchasing something they object to, but as the second gamer posted,
there will be more and more “garbage” to deal with. It is no
doubt that the removal of censorship will result in a massive influx
of garbage onto the platform, and though people can choose not to
purchase it, they will still have to wade through it to find what
they are looking for. Garbage can crowd out good material, and as
this happens, it is likely that there will be a shift in the type of
gamers that make use of Steam. Some will simply abandon the platform
altogether as it fills up with garbage, while a new user-base seeking
that garbage will arrive and dominate. As this shift occurs, game
developers will play to the market on Steam, and more garbage will be
made to accommodate those that seek it. Eventually, some developers
seeking an audience for their “non-garbage” games will leave, or
alter their trajectory entirely and make garbage themselves to keep
up with demand.
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.
