網友發現V社更新了Steam主機官網頁面。在Steam宣傳頁面中，V社選用了DEI活動分子來宣傳他們的新主機，引起海外網友的廣泛批評。
眾所周知，當今3A遊戲行業正飽受這些人士的摧殘，這些活動人士根本不是遊戲玩家，他們只是將遊戲作為宣傳他們意識形態的工具，而且頻繁站在玩家的對面。
BREAKING: On the Steam Machine promotional page, they use these two people to promote the console. This is part of a continued and relentless campaign to normalize the abnormal and to promote people who do not represent gamers and gaming culture. We recognize these things and will highlight them as a problem of an ideology and way of thinking that seeks to subvert normalcy. This needs correcting in culture, beyond just gaming.
玩家：左邊這個戴眼鏡的是個男的
@Steam WTF is this? The overwhelming majority of gamers aren’t trans freaks or LGBT weirdos. They are also largely straight men. Why are you shoving this disgusting crap in our face?
"So let me get this straight, they're wheeling out the exact mentally ill, dysgenic crowd that Dustborn was made for… to promote the Steam Machine using Cuphead of all games? The same lot that tried to cancel it for being 'istophobic' because of its old-school art style?"
去年9月，V社被曝內部覺醒力量抬頭。
「目前，一些進步的管理人員和開發者正在推動Valve和Steam更加清醒。
我和Valve內部人士交流過，確實有一些進步人士在推動一切。目前為止，雙方保持著平衡。
一旦Gabe退休，我真的很擔心Steam。」
Right now, progressive managers and devs are pushing on Valve and Steam to be more and more woke. I talked to Valve insiders, and it is true that there are progressive people in there pushing on everything. So far, it's kept a balance. Once Gabe retires, I really worry about Steam. https://x.com/nempk0x1/statu/nempk0x1/status/1965226277364981777
