Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

Just got my Tidal Rewind for 2025; this year was really about me trying to engage with art more thoughtfully. With music that meant listening to more full albums and less algorithms.
This list is a banger and is starting to feel like Me.

Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Learning to appreciate art in its own context has been revolutionary for me. It feels like the key to defeating this apathy and ennui the internet and capitalism tries to drown us in.
there is literally no circumstance where i would not take a video game on its own terms
