Welp, they finally did it: Valve has begun removing hate groups from Steam; in other words, they're actually enforcing their TOS. Take notes, Twitter.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Good.
About Time
I'm all for removing actual hate groups. The problem is that politically incorrect speech often gets thrown into the same category.
"For example, the Waifu Hunter Steam Curator recommends games based on whether a game 'has attractive anime ladies in it.'"

That's no reason to censor anybody. So while I'm glad dangerous racists and violent homophobes are getting the boot, I'm not happy with the growing trend of banning everybody who doesn't conform to a California-centric social sensibility.
Hey, all! Just so you know, if you defend the hate groups on the grounds of "but freeze peach!!!11", then congrats: you are now a Nazi apologist. Also, you should probably read this handy XKCD comic: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comic...
