Funny how all the mainstream gaming media (+ this 2-paragraphs long blog post [?]) only now decided to cover this story, when the curator list on steam exceded 200.000 subscribers and so SBI run to Kotaku to do damage control, and these mainstream media are only quoting PR slogans from SBI website, or interviews with SBI from fucking Kotaku, or try to ridicule the whole idea by calling it conspiracy theories, or calling hundreds of thousands of players haters, white misogynist, racists and all the usual stuff, but none of these mainstream media actually reported on this story in depth, show what SBI management have been actually saying before all of this came to light, what their founder and employee have been tweeting (tweets now conviniently hidden or deleted) or how THEY (yes, they - Sweet Baby Inc) have been trying to weaponize their followers to ban not only the curator's list on steam (even while publicly admitting knowing it doesn't break any steam rules) but also trying to ban the list creator's account (in spite "because he loves his account so much").
I know lemmy is not a place to argue such stuff because it seems even woker than reddit and everyone is in this little bubble, but if you're curious then look up those who's been covering this subject from the beginning, for example:

Bottom line is - I can decide for myself what to spend my money on, thank you very much.
It's not a story when it's a couple of conspiracy theorists making horrifically inaccurate deductions. It's a story when it's hundreds of thousands of people led on by a bunch of horse shit.
