    If they would, no one could ask anything pre purchase.

    But I also don’t like the forum in there because of the bad atmosphere. Also I don’t know whether it is because of a special group or because the general communication style in games is toxic, dumb, aggressive and egoistical as fuck… Like in almost every ingame chat.

      Every discussion board has several categories by default General/bugs/events/trading Simply moving the default category or locking it massively decreases trolling and appropriate category use. The main problem with discussion trolling is that valve never deals with the rampant spam bots or people who continually post egregious material. I’ve seen bots last years posting update edits on every large game news post. The only way to fix it is to lock it to game owners/account age/community engagement. But valve will never do this unless it negatively affects their image because their leadership have become deluded weirdos (exempting art lead and gabe newell)

      I think it’s just the games you play I’ve just had a look at the town to city forum, and it’s fine, as to be expected.
