Good to know Valve is on record as defending islamophobia. Should align with the views of many of their current game customers.
Have you been to their forums? They tolerate and defend much worse than that review.
I just see it as defending free speech
That raises the question of whether or not this is free speech, though. Free speech doesn't require that we tolerate intolerance.
What does leaving this review up harm? Are you afraid a Muslim person would read it and be offended? That might actually be a useful review for some people, as they might like the things this person hates.
I dont see the harm in this. From what I can read they said "also has Muslims." That tells me the game has Muslims, and that the reviewer doesnt like Muslims. Maybe I like Muslims, and want to see what thats about.
More specifically, they wrote “Also has Muslims... No one is asking for this type of stuff.” At least that's how it is in the OP screenshot, though a screenshot in another comment doesn't have the second part.
Though I agree that leaving that clown show up is useful.
The devs response to it will likely make this review beneficial to the hand and not a detraction.
