I mean, Valve has a vested interest in keeping game devs active on the Steam forums.

But also, can we stop fucking replacing forums with Discord servers? Discord isn’t searchable by engines, so when I have an issue and search for “[game name] [issue]” I can’t easily find support topics from others who have had the same issue. All I get is a generic “jOiN ouR dIsCorD SerVer FoR sUppOrT” page instead.
