Care to provide an example..?

Ah, going into a game hub, trashing it, being shown the door. Right. Well, game devs can run their hub how they see fit, provided they aren't being grossly abusive.

If you are talking about community content (like discussion forums) then it's all up to devs, they can make a rule "if you say banana you get a ban" and valve wont interfere

Yeah, using false concern as a means to introduce a point just to use it to bash a studio/game doesn't end well. Especially the moment when pushback is met, people are accused of being "glazers" and "rabid fans".

Valve has held that devs are not subject to the Steam community rules within their own hubs.

People should not point out any "trash behavior," because those are libelous or defamatory statements and that's against the code of conduct:

Which part of the "Moderate your game hubs as you see fit" policy did the the developers break?

Oh and ban was correctly applied anyway. You reap what you sow.

As title says. Its crazy what devs on the platform can get away with. While regular users get banned for pointing out trash behavior of the devs. Big pack of double standards and hypocrisy.

No, certain behaviour has to be kept in check. You should have asked nicely, not in that rude tone of yours

curious why people think they get to come into "my" store and talk crap?

even if you have a what you think is a valid reason

do not behave and i will throw you out

plain and simple

not sure what you are going to get thrown out for?

err on the side of caution until you do know

or be an adult and except the consequence of your actions

The Stoneshard Developer made a standard reply that was quite professional, they even explained some of the reasons for delays which are entirely reasonable including the world-affecting event covid and war affecting areas in which some of them live in.

The Devs behavior in the thread appeared again, quite professional, despite what they received.

Took some time of my day to "investigate" this.

You are not a victim. /thread

Valve doesn't exist to make dev's be nice to you.

Dev's also pay a good chunk of money to Valve, they're a different group of users and they have different rules. There are consequences for breaking the rules they're subject to. Valve isn't going to subject devs to standard user rules in the space the dev pays Valve for. If a dev is behaving that badly towards its customers, that has consequences too. Bad reviews, and a negative reputation for starters. Word gets around.

The one thing users need to remember is devs aren't your equals. And in the space, that they pay for, Valve has given them a lot of power to manage their product/business/community how they want, or hasn't tried to interfere with the the developer on every user's whim.

Users who can't understand that or why, well you should before you start making demands that you want Valve to be a big stick users can swing around to punish devs they're unhappy with. Don't hold your breath.

Only if users who make false claims face serious repercussions. There are some dev's like the Ship of Heroes one that do abuse it, but they are few and far between. There should be some sort of investigation, but also a penalty such as losing reporting privlieges if anyone makes false claims.

Sounds like a case of FAFO to me.

Devs are also still allowed to insult people or otherwise violate the Steam rules anyway, so it hardly matters what the actual behavior was here.
