Already said before on another post. This will not take off, even the most soy indie game dev is not gonna throw away $1000 a month just to live in his parents basement longer to virtue signal on twitter.

2020-06-16 | Developers remove games from Steam over Valve's Black Lives Matter silence | GamesIndustry.biz
'Developers remove games from Steam over Valve's Black Lives Matter silence "I find having my games associated with the Steam platform to be embarrassing and a little nauseating," said Julian GlanderSeveral indie developers have removed their games from Steam to protest against Valve's lack of support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

'This makes me especially sad because I feel that some of these people are the people who most need to hear the message of Black Lives Matter."', "He shared on Twitter that he doesn't see himself publishing on Valve's platform ever again."
'Valve has yet to issue a statement addressing the current Black Lives Matter movement, which was sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25.

I love how he decided Valve's silence on the topic means they support white supremacists.

No I think we’ve heard enough. When sports open back up I have a feeling many more are going to be vocal about that sentiment too.

There's still plenty of faggots selling their pozzed shit on Steam believe me. I got burned with The Long Dark, though to be fair I bought that game years ago.
Anyone play Dwarf Fortress here? Well part of the money he makes from his Steam sales (when it comes out) is also going to BLM and the like. Here's a statement from Toady who as it turns out is a massive homo.
06/01/2020 Toady One Here's the monthly report, and the Future of the Fortress. Sorry for the outages over the last few days. Our site and the Dwarf Fortress File Depot may still be on and offline a bit while we migrate to a new hosting company.
Toady One Threetoe While the protests against the murder of George Floyd and police brutality, and the ensuing police riot, continue in this country, we don't want to be silent, nor do we want to make a generic brand statement. So, specifically, we support efforts to defund the police, as well as those to minimize and abolish incarceration. No amount of protection afforded to white people is worth the horror we continue to perpetuate in this country against millions in marginalized communities. Black lives matter.
It's likely those of you that want to contribute to relevant funds have located some already. We've given to Rebuild Lake Street, the BLM Seattle Freedom Fund, and Reclaim the Block. Minnesota Freedom Fund will be linking additional organizations as well.
I'm done buying new shit because half of these guys are screeching leftists. I wish all of these faggots would take their crap off Steam so I know the devs who remain there are OK.

Hinterlands statement stung me too. Their support of Project Trees was on brand, then then they did a thing for Covid that was funneling money to the WHO.
I've had Long Dark long enough that I had already taken the game out of my rotation of play before they came out with Story mode. It's actually been one of my main games for the last few months doing runs for various achievements and badges. Before this was strongly endorsing the game and was considering buying a branded outdoor coffee mug.
