It's true we've had a number of complaints about Steam forums here lately, and I'd always encourage people to search to see if another relatively recent thread on the same topic already exists before creating a new one so we don't end up having pretty much the same discussion again. As admittedly we are here. Though given the forum search functionality can be a bit flaky, that doesn't always help, and the last threads I can find were from a couple of weeks ago so it doesn't seem fair to blame Halfling Rogue for this flurry.
Issues with duplicate threads aside, I do think it's valid to post here about experience using other community platforms such as Steam forums as the Larian community management team review threads here and it is feedback from players for them to consider. And while it is a topic that does tend to prompt strong opinions and uncomfortable conversations, that's not for me a reason to clamp down on it when it's relevant to people playing Larian games.
But as it is fair call that this is a duplicate and I'm trying to cut down on those now the forums are busier, I'll lock this thread. The older one [https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=868228&page=1]here[/url] remains open for people to add to if their point hasn't already been made.
