I'm surprised European governments haven't demanded better enforcement of laws when it comes to hate speech on Steam. Instead they regulate stuff like lootboxes or spicy content because they think those are more harmful than fascism apparently.
I suspect they haven't heard about it as much lately. I bet if German politicians heard about the Swastika and Nazi stuff they would be on it very quickly. Nazi content like that is a big No-No in Germany.
The latter two are a much more broad and prevalent issue in the gaming industry overall. No need for the whataboutism.
That's not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when someone brings something unrelated up to make the main topic look less important and that's not happening here.
