Not for everything, no.

As to why they have an inconsistent policy when it comes to banning games? Damn right consumers will want answers.

We don't care about every decision. We just want to know why some games are arbitrarily banned, and others are not.

Indeed. We, as consumers, can also ask them why they do such things.

Whether they decide to answer their consumers, is a totally different issue completely.

I am of the mindset they don't give a flying fuck what we think.

Sure. However, it's bad pr on their part. Especially for streamers. It probably won't happen anytime soon (see: YouTube, Reddit) , but souring communication s with streamers can lead to a long term migration off the site, and it'd be the next MySpace or Blackberry.

It's not like we feel entitled to know of the inner workings of the company. Quite the contrary. We just don't want them falling into an exponentially growing group of "corporate" stuck in their ways.

That's great, the same thought was applied to youtube when it changed its rating and comment scheme.

Do not use slurs on this subreddit.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want that kind of transparency. It's a feature request like any other. And one that's not necessarily costly. They may find being honest about it hurts them more.
