Just yesterday we wrote about an independent developer Juliana Glanderewho turned out to be so offended by the lack of Valve and the digital platform team Steam public support movement “Black’s Life Is Important“that came to the decision to remove two of their games from the shelves of a popular gaming service.
The action of the indie author met an ambiguous reaction: both opponents and defenders were found on the network Glander. But the most curious thing is that soon at least two more developers joined them, who in their solidarity took identical measures – asked for guidance Steam stop selling their projects. This is about Dan Sanderson and Gabriele Kenig.
The first one is the creator of the retro horror First winter. This project, according to Sanderson, at Steam He doesn’t make money at all, but he still doesn’t want to support the company simply out of principle.
To be honest, it’s the very least I could do. First Winter makes no money anyway but still. It’s the principle. And considering the shocking shit going on in London today, had to do something. #indiedev @GhostTimeGames pic.twitter.com/foidTRECzo

“Honestly, this is the least I can do. First Winter does not bring me money, but what’s the difference. It’s a matter of principle. And given all the crap that’s happening in London now, I just can’t do nothing.”
Gabriel Koenigcreator of games like Jettomero: Hero of the Universe and Test tube titans, in turn, spoke out somewhat more radically and bluntly. He not only volunteered to personally leave the site Valve, but also called for a similar step by other creators.
I put in a help request to remove my paid games earlier this week as well. Steam is nothing without our games. We have the power to demand change. Dev friends, consider using your voice. Steam will not be getting any more money from me. https://t.co/yYK1ZMA0wg

“I sent a request to remove my games from Steam at the beginning of the week. Steam is nothing without our projects. We can demand that the platform change. Dear friends, do not be silent. But Steam will not get a penny from me anymore. And this decision it was not easy for me. With the sale of games I had about a thousand dollars a month, it was a bit problematic to refuse it. But if I continue to profit from their store, it would be like becoming involved in ignoring the problems of hatred and intolerance. “
Valve does not react to this in any way.
