Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general. Every other store will carry it. Just not Steam.

If you use StreamElements chatbot, be aware of this. If I'm understanding correctly, this is expected behavior and the streamer is responsible... but for creators, be cautious with commands running (touser) or (#) variables if you run other bots alongside StreamElements.

I'll pay attention to TGA when it actually does something meaningful for the industry it allegedly serves besides taking in shedloads of cash and exploiting people, especially the marginalised.

As y'all may know by now; I'm against the Death Penalty. As it won't bring back victims. Two wrongs don't make a right. And it's a very cruel punishment.
