Why not to use the Steam forums (despite myself being a derp and keep on using them)
Doesn't use Steam forums because 80% of it is trolls.
On Discord groups:
Me - Suggests a slightly controversial stance on a topic like EGS, DRM, etc. for that topic
80% of people - gives a highly civilised and informal stance against said topic
On Steam forums:
Me - Suggests a slightly controversial stance on a topic like EGS, DRM, etc. for that topic
80% of people - "OMG YOU'RE A WHITE KNIGHT/FURRY/ANIME PERSON EW!111 DN'T LIKE YOU!"

Also, confronting pirates now gets you banned on Steam apparently, so yay.

Also another good one -
On Discord groups:
Me, a person who messed around with games/software before - Suggests actual advice on how to improve it
80% of people - "You know what, yeah you probs right."
On Steam fourms:
Me, a person who messed around with games/software before - Suggests actual advice on how to improve it
80% of people - "Shut up CHEATER/WHITE KNIGHT/FURRY/ANIME PERSON, nobody cares about your opinion"
(You know, if there is a bit of cheating/hacking software that's giving you problems, and someone is willing to actually tell you what's going on, or even better, improve it, maybe listen to said person?)

Someone on the Steam forums: "We want totally want a straight title, not because we want to insert ourselves into everything or anything..."
WEBFISHING dev: "... Sure."
*Added "Straight" Title. It costs $9999.*
99% of Redditors: "Haha, that's actually funny. xD"
99% of Steam forum users: "OMG WHY ARE YOU BEING OFFENSIVE, WHY ARE YOU INJECTING THE WOKE VIRUS INTO THE INNOCENT FISHING GAME!!!1!, HELP WE'RE BEING OPPRESSED!!!1!"

The fact that redditors are being more reasonable than so called "players". LOL.

On Steam forums:
Me, a person who researched bizz law (because its part of my Cyber-Security studies), accurate prices, and how other companies behave when it comes to contracts: *Suggests that maybe this maker of a free niche app might be a scum bag and greedy, and also stealing content themselves*
99% of Discord users/Redditors: "... You know what, you might be right." Or *suggests a counter-point about the maker needs to montize their free app without doing mental gymnastics to do so, including points such as "Vote with your wallet" and "This is the only time where piracy is justified if you REALLY want to mod it that badly".*
99% of Steam forum users: "NUUU, ThE DeV iS EnTiTTlED tO PiSS Off ThIER USeRs BeCAuSE SAfE HaRBOr LaWs AIn'T a THiNg, EvERYOnE MoDdDInG is STeAllING DLC, BuT WE Won'T ShOW PRoFF BeCAUSe YoU'RE A DiRTy CHEATER/WHITE KNIGHT/FURRY/ANIME PERSON! AlSo NUU, OuR ApP ISn'T NiCHe, aNd We'Re NoT BREakING a LIcenSE, WE'Re POPular LiKE FortnitE!!!!!!!"

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ comparing Fortnite to a niche desktop buddy app, Jesus Christ... Bonzi Buddy wasn't this bad!

People say that the Steam moderators are overzealous, yet we have vile things as pointed out by the ADL: https://www.adl.org/resources/report/steam-powered-hate-top-gaming-site-rife-extremism-antisemitism
Though, any moderation system that is effective at stopping the vile stuff being spread could easily be flipped to then do the opposite, allow the vile things to spread like wild fire, ban and censor the wholesome content. Damed if you do, damed if you don't.

On a more positive note, I just made a anti-woke person take a look at a list of games that are woke (according to "Woke Content Detector") and say "They're not woke games". :lunar2019laughingpig: Anti-woke people fighting each other, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP! That is how dumb users on the Steam forum are!

Now onto less postive things, I was having a nice discussion with someone who was having legimately bad experiences with Denuvo. It was nice and calm. And then some lunatic rolls in saying "ALL LINUX USERS ARE CHEATERS, ALL LINUX USERS ARE PIRATES!" I confront the person in question, and my message gets deleted, with a warning from Steam support saying that my post was "disrepectful." Great. so confronting properganda is considered "disrepectful". Great job Steam! You've now showed all your investors and users that you're A OK with spreading properganda on your forums. What a joke.

Though it looks like I got the last laugh:
> Windows fanboy on Steam forums tells me (a Linux user) to go back to Windows
> MegaMan Star Force Legacy Collection releases
> I get it day one
> Launches the game on Steam Deck
> It works perfectly. Online is a bit busted because CapCom forgot to do balancing. Not much of an issue though.
> Launches on my Fedora Linux PC
> Works perfectly there too.
> Goes to forums to discuss the person in Online who already has 100 wins day one
> Notices post: "crahsing on starting" (it is mispelt)
> Looks like a few Windows users having issues launching the game a la my experience with Digimon Cybersleuth on Windows 10.

Whoever it was that told me to go back to Windows 11 must be feeling pretty silly right now. :lunar2019laughingpig:

yeah, agreed. atleast street fighter doesn't have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ drm that doesn't make the game unplayable. btw someone named Zaczac121 sends their regards.

Well, Capcom clearly doesn't have smart programmers. If the Anti-Tamper DRM has been put in correctly, it shouldn't slow down the game. At best, they should have used the Anti-Tamper checks sparingly. I think Persona 4 Golden did so, then again it's Persona 4 Golden, originally a Vita game. Can't really get that wrong. So, GG Capcom. You ♥♥♥♥♥♥ yourselves.

Though, that being said, if ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pirates weren't a thing - the kind of pirates who say "LAMO why would I pay for anything", even if the game developers are well talented and are deserving of the money - then we wouldn't have to deal with stuff like Denuvo. And maybe we would use better than military standard encryption for what matters most. Protecting our privacy, and not to earn an extra buck because you're having to deal with greedy human nature.

fun fact about denuvo, resident evil village runs better when pirated due to denuvo not being a factor. what a shame :(

You want to know what I find funny and sad at the same time?
Its the fact that the people who hate EGS and Denuvo - or anything that's controversial in the gaming world - will instantly harass and target you for who you are if you don't agree with what you said.

The 10% that actually has legit criticism on why something is bad and they hate it, live somewhere else like Discord, don't hate it that much and would support the good things about it, and/or condemn the hate speech but can't say it on a public forums for the fear of being called a "traitor" by the 90%.

90% of the rest are trolls who like to watch the world burn.

So trolls, when you target people and harass them because they don't agree with you, do you not see that by doing this, you actually also harm the 10% of your image that drives you, and instead just gives more incentive to companies to not do what the 10% actually wants? Of course you don't, you're trolls. And you stink the place up.

So apparently playing on non-VAC servers for Quake Live - and getting reported as a "cheater" by multiple troll bots - gets you banned on VAC servers? Well done Valve. This just proves - alongside the countless cheaters on TF2 that you fail to stop while banning legit players - that your system does not work correctly, and it also takes advice from a trollbot. No wonder you have so many people complaining about VAC.
