I feel like news like this shouldn't even be reported on, it gives unnecessary exposure to the developer and game. They breached the ToS of Valve, they rightfully got a ban, let them sink into oblivion and not make a big story out of it. This will probably get them some extra sales on a different platform by people who support this type of messages.

For better or worse, Valve is intentionally very lax when it comes to censorship (they ban illegal content and trolling, and that's about it): https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/6/17435324/valve-steam-policy-games https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/6/17435324/valve-steam-policy... For the heck of it, and to confirm nothing has changed, I looked and took me about 10 seconds to find some trans-phobic stuff they host.
