I'm having trouble believing the steam forum can be that bad. Now I'm going to have to go check it out and see for myself.
Don't do it ... just ... don't. I was there today and it is not pretty.
I ended up going and looking briefly. Most of it seemed like thread titles that were on topic to the game, but there were a couple threads I noticed that brought culture war topics into the forefront. Which is about the last thing I want to listen to people discuss, certainly after the last years of having been forced to hear folks arguing and hating each other all the time.

But my real takeaway... wow, that speed...
I refreshed the screen, and it refreshed... ?
I opened a thread, and it opened... !
All I could think was, is this what the rest of the internet world has? So jealous of their forum speed.
