In response to the re-victimization by Steam management on January 14, 2024 (issuing restrictions against my account when I was already being attacked by well over 50 users from one Steam thread since October of 2023 and is still ongoing), I have decided to negate all voluntary information (outside of this summary) from my Steam profile in protest of their decision to support this harassment & penalize a victim of it.

Additionally, this has made the determination for me that Steam is no longer a trustworthy company to be purchasing from, so no further purchases will be made on Steam over ANY of my accounts (this now also includes purchases in F2P games using the Steam API, as I did a couple of times in Warframe before this happened, purchases now being done directly through the official game sites instead), as well as clearing my wishlists of stuff I knew I wouldn't be purchasing on Steam. Any money that would have been going into Steam is now instead going primarily into GOG & Nintendo Switch.

This has also resulted in any Steam-exclusives to be blacklisted from being streamed to my Twitch channel. Steam-owned games may still be streamed provided they are not Steam-exclusives, but I will no longer provide links that may result in a purchase of the game on Steam. Steam activation keys were also wiped from the StreamElements shop for my Twitch channel as I do not want to provide incentives for people to come to a platform I am no longer willing to purchase from myself.

Any further use of Steam will only be for use of the games I already own; as opposed to past boycotts against Steam, unowned DLC for owned games will NOT be an exception to purchase them this time around. Public community functions on Steam are now dead to me also (removing myself from a number of the groups I was in, particularly official Steam groups).

UPDATE: Attacks are still continuing against my Steam account, getting hit with another one on 5/14/2024 (this was a screenshot that was used in a griefing report to Warframe management, so the coordinated troll attacks effectively manipulated Steam management into protecting that user from penalization). I had already decided to cease all further purchases & public community functions on Steam, these continued attacks & support from Steam management in aiding the trolls that are committing these crimes only gives further support to the decision why this boycott will NOT end (originally I was giving the option of if accounts that had extended contribution to these attacks had received community bans would I end the boycott, that statement is now being revoked & the boycott is now PERMANENT). Logs of this attack have been backed up to the same folder I have backups of my Twitch IRC logs publicly viewable through (as all other attacks are going to get logged to as well), as well as there will be a new publication on this new staff-supported attack to my personal site (I've also opened a new ticket in regards to this most recent attack, not that I'm expecting anything out of it, but it could result in another publication in addition to at least 5 that already detail attacks over Steam & YouTube since this started in October of 2023).

I will be filing a report with the Internet Crimes division of the FBI either later today or tomorrow, detailing the continuous internet stalking, online harassment & attempted doxxing by these users. Additionally, as stated in the last support ticket I opened with Steam, I've also decided it's time to contact Scripps News & inquire why they have not included gaming platforms like Steam & PSN in their reports regarding dangerous social platforms in their TV broadcasts (regarding new laws that state these platforms can be fined for not protecting their users against this type of toxicity). The final step may be to follow through with what the officer told me when I reported this to them on 1/22/2024 (the case number being supplied to Steam management in the open support ticket directly after I had received it from the officer) & make this a civil suit, meaning a lawsuit against Steam & potential criminal prosecution against those that have been taking part in the attacks.

I've also decided to start using Gadwin PrintScreen for game screenshots even in Steam games, as I have no reason to continue using Steam for screenshots when it's as slow as it's been since January of 2024 (especially if I haven't had any intentions in uploaded screenshots to Steam since the first successful attack in January), this most recent successful attack just putting the final nail in the coffin on that function for me. That also means that even friends-only streams on Steam are no longer going to be done through my accounts (nor will I be going to any other streams on Steam).

Additionally, I haven’t given up on the idea of suing Steam over their inaction on this matter (maybe by posting the specific rules that that intentionally malicious comment broke, maybe they’ll be included to do something about it now, although I’m more included to expect they will show further support for the attacks by those trolls that started this 2+ years boycott against Steam), I’m still searching for a lawyer that is willing to take the case with the payment of legal fees options that are available to me.

Steam management made it a point not to do anything about the slander, so I made it a point to address it in that thread of comments myself. I’m expecting more retaliation out of this, in addition to likely more support from Steam management in the attacks from those malicious Steam users. I am keeping documents of every action taken (by the trolls & Steam management) & expecting further publications to be made.

Malicious statements in that original thread where this targeted harassment started has sat long enough on the Steam website that it is now being adapted into Google AI's responses. This has prompted the opening of another support ticket with Steam support, this time with threats of a likely injunction against the targeted harassment in that thread that Steam keeps allowing to happen (despite multiple reports filed through the standard community reporting system that are never acted on).

Correction attempts have already been filed with Google as well, however the injunction may include Google if they don't correct the issues that their AI is allowing to happen.

This purchase at least gives me access to the Invasion DLC on GOG (which is 1 more than I have on Steam, now making GOG the primary account to play it on), however I will still need to wait for the Wonderworld DLC to be released on GOG before I will be able to acquire it on the now preferred PC platform...

Just repurchased Craft The World on GOG (along with all available DLC, however it appears they still haven't released Wonderworld on GOG yet). I could have just purchased the 2 DLC that I was missing on Steam (even going as far as looking at other 3rd-party sites to purchase activation keys for those DLC, however was unable to find anything outside of the core game on those sites), but was unwilling to let Steam have my current payment information due to the ongoing attacks originating by trolls here on Steam & affecting my other online accounts, profiles, channels & servers (stating that this boycott would continue until every large-scale player in those organized attacks had received community bans), so I bit the bullet & got everything available for the game on GOG while it was still on sale (a lot more than I wanted to spend to re-acquire them on a more acceptable platform, but it was still better than full price).

Additional abuse appears to be those users are now leaving troll responses on my videos/screenshots on my Steam profile. I don't intend on disabling comments, but I will continue to block those people, delete those comments & report those accounts as it continues. I've also made it a point to mention in those reports that this issue is going to be reported to the police with the intention of having arrests made for harassment, internet stalking & doxing against me since October of 2023 and that they can expect to receive a subpoena in the near future. The original thread where this all started is also being linked in every report filed to Steam (not that I expect them to do anything about it when they chose to re-victimize somebody who was already getting attacked by well over 50 people over multiple sites starting with that thread, but this will just result in a higher fine when they are found guilty for not protecting their users & contributing to the actions of the aggressors).
