I'm navigator4223 on the Steam forums and the place is incredibly toxic, unlike here.
Please, for the sake of the community, but also for the sake of game PR and marketing, send one or two moderators over there to clean up and keep the nonsense in check.
Many threads and postings there are insulting to community members from the LGBTIQ+ spectrum, for example, also there is a lot of trolling.
I ask here because I can see on this forum here that Larian has great people for this job, but the Steam forums may be the very first contact many people have with this game so I think it would be reasonable to moderate over there, too.
This is wrong.
In your opinion.
To be clear, I don't think Larian should get involved in moderating Steam forums. The waste of employee time isn't worth the benefit. Valve, however, should be doing a much better job of it.
When it comes to GOVERNMENT regulation of speech, I'm a free speech absolutist. But if I were running a private forum such as Steam, why would I want people in my community spewing hate and advocating violence? It's a potential legal liability, it's unpleasant, and fostering an environment in which groups of people feel threatened is bad for business.
I'm here purely because the BG3 Steam forum is so full of trash political posts that it's almost useless as a resource for exchanging information about the game. That's just stupid.
