Steam supports harassment, additional permissions locked up

On January 14, 2024, I woke up to find that Steam had apparently put restrictions on my primary Steam account, which showed they supported the harassment coming from their users on their platform:

These actions from Steam made it clear that they were no longer a trustworthy source for purchasing video games anymore.  I had already been holding off on new purchases from Steam due to the cutoff of Windows 7 becoming known half-way through 2023 (the exception being a couple of Platinum purchases in Warframe), but this makes the decision set in stone, there won't be any more purchases being made through Steam anymore (I don't even feel I can trust them to have access to my payment information, so any F2P purchases that would have been made using the Steam API will be done directly through the company, no longer through Steam because Steam benefits on those purchases are no longer a bonus when I can't trust the company).

Once I found out about these restrictions, a number of things started happening to start negating information from my Steam profile, in addition to cutting ties from Steam over other sites:

• All other voluntary information, showcases & optional information was removed from my Steam profiles.
• A slew of comments were posted to my profile regarding this matter & additional steps that were being taken in response to it.
• All self-posted comments in the thread where these attacks that have been happening since October of 2023 were self-deleted.
• My Steam wishlist was cleared out, given it was clear I wouldn't be putting any more money into Steam after the revictimization. 
• My Steam profiles were stripped down to basic display options, no longer showing additional profile display options I had earned or purchased using account points.
  
• The Steam Facebook page was blocked.
• Referral traffic from Steam domains to my personal site are now blocked, resulting in a ban message.
  
• My Twitch channel was updated to disclose details about the revictimization & why streams of Steam-exclusive games won't be done on that channel anymore.  Streaming of Steam games may still happen, but links that would lead to purchases of Steam versions will no longer be provided when streaming those games.
• Chat restrictions on my Twitch channel now prohibit links to Steam domains.
• Chat restrictions for Twitch accounts that don't have a phone number on them now have the highest restriction available before they can participate in chat:
• Chatters without a verified phone number must have accounts older than 6 months (previously 1 week).
• Chatters without a verified phone number must have followed for more than 3 months (previously 10 minutes).
  
• A new command was added to the StreamElements bot that responds to mentions of Steam with details of why it's no longer a trustworthy gaming platform I'm willing to purchase from anymore.
• Giveaways were discontinued on my Twitch channel (given they only included Steam activation keys or giftable guest passes anyways)
• All Steam activation keys were disabled in the StreamElements store for my Twitch channel.
  
• Comments were FULLY disabled on my YouTube channel, along with a post in the Community section of the channel explaining why this happened.  This hid any existing comments that were on the channel, as well as negates any option of a user disputing a video calling them out for poor behavior in games.
  
• Open joining of my Discord channel was disabled, now only being allowed through private invitation using expiring invitation links.
  

Additional articles are expected to be published to WonderGamer.net giving details about the ongoing harassment, internet stalking, doxing by Steam users & revictimization from Steam management, but will have to come later when I have managed to catch up on some other tasks that have been getting put off for a few days already.

Despite removing the original comments from that thread where the targetted harssement started, that thread is still be monitored & I will continue to document the harassment, given that harassment is going to be evidence when this matter is reported to police seeking action against the criminal actions of Steam's users & potentional fines against the platforms that refused to do anything when reports were filed.
