Steam boycotts banned by developer in attempt to win players back

Creative Assembly, the developer behindTotal War: Warhammer 3is wielding a different kind of hammer. A banhammer. Since the Total War community voiced concern over the increased prices on DLC for the Warhammer game, the developer has announced they will be banning users from the game’sSteamforum who “come here to be disruptive.”

Boycotts were being called for in response to the price hike and now, for some reason, the developers believe that banning those players will somehow help win back the community. Let’s see how that’s going on Reddit.

Creative Assembly posted an update saying that “Steam has long been a space where we’ve allowed people to create the space they want to talk and discuss the game. Unfortunately, over time, discussions have grown increasingly off-topic - unconstructive” The team emphasised their new direction in moderating including “Doomsaying, calls for boycotts”.

Back over on Reddit, the community is raising their voices there instead. “CA are making one catastrophic decision after another.” says one user while anotherreferences Barbara Streisand commenting"How long has it been since Streisand? People never learn."
