It’s weird I just never see any of this at all. Is it just for certain games? Admittedly I barely ever go into the forums and when I do I’m looking for a specific answers to specific questions, so maybe it’s just people who use Steam for General communication? But I don’t know why anyone would do that so…

Most bigger games are full of reviews from „woke detectors”, followed by trolls spamming rainbows, followed by people with trump pfps inviting into their Nazi communities

Right. This is the whole issue with these studies as the data is skewed. The only people getting into ‘wars’ are single brain cell fuckheads who can’t resist spewing rhetoric on a game store and/or associated forum. Normal users are using the platform as intended.
