Change

Due to the current political events happening in the USA, it is ethically not possible for me anymore to sell my games over a video game distribution service like steam.

My games are often about peace, equality, kindness, environmentalism, empathy and everything that is just good. Things I want to stand for in real life as well.

It has always been my childhood dream to make my own video games, open up my company as an adult, make allot of money with my games over steam and then basically save the world by donating very high amounts of money to charity. Without steam, it has become very difficult to achieve this goal of mine.

I also went ahead and deleted my youtube channel I build for around 5 years. I almost achieved 1000 subscribers. As a funny side note, I made over 900 subscribers with my silly little “ blender users be like “ video I made in around 2 minutes.

I don’t want to be associated with the USA anymore in anyway. I don't want to finance American fascism by making an American company money by selling over its game distribution service, since American companies get taxed by the American government. I am not writing that this is the fault of valve, but of the USA itself. Valve is not to blame here.

Maybe all of this will change one day and I will be capable to sell my games on steam again. Only time will tell.

I have opened up my own website, also as a replacement for my now dead youtube channel, which you can visit here.

My website and my steam developer account, this one, are the only places I upload my things to, as well as every place I will announce in the future. Please don’t fall for social media scammers using my name or works of art.

I am so much very very sorry that it has to be this way, but it is ethically speaking better to do so.

Thank you all for the support, for downloading my first game, AI Stories and for your interest in my creations. Thank you for the journey and I hope you will follow me on my next one.
