    There is zero or nearly zero accountability for the state of the community hub and Valve simply saying “devs should do it” is just passing the buck.

    Do devs have the ability to turn forums/communities off? If so, I feel like that’s the best option if they don’t want to moderate it.

      They don’t. I know one indie developer once privately told me they wished they could.

        Yeah, that really should be an option. I don’t think it’s infeasible for Valve to employ their own moderators and ensure the communities are less toxic. Short of that though, letting developers/publishers disable them is the bare minimum they can do.
