Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

DRM only affects people who paid to play the game, the point of cracking a game is to remove the DRM.
Of course steam needs to call home when it's online, but when you are offline you never need to connect again if you don't want to.
Steam itself supports controllers. If you want to play a game without controller support you can use steam to play with a controller regardless.
Modding a game can be a complex ordeal, stream simplifies it (usually) and offers a download manager.
Steam reviews are far more trustworthy than 'official' reviews and that is just a fact. Reviewers are often bought, and even when they aren't they directly paid for they are indirectly pressured to offer inflated scores, operate on a weird scale, and are often incompetent besides (the bad at games stereotype has existed since the 90s at least, and for good reason).
