Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Reviews Getting Banned On Steam That Mention DEI

Expert Verified By

The DEI Controversy Continues!

Story Highlight
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 reviews that mention anything about DEI are being struck down on Steam.
  • It is unclear whether the developers are involved at all since Steam moderators usually deal with these issues.
  • The community is upset and has taken to social media online since even civil posts about DEI topics are being banned.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has taken off the launch pad with a strong thrust, but it has also faced a fair share of criticisms regarding the unexpected DEI mechanics. Immoral gay scenes and the ability to romance a male partner have made many gamers upset.

Now, the reviews bringing up these Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 DEI features are being banned on Steam without any compromises. In other words, even civil discussions on the matter are not being taken lightly by the platform.

Why it matters: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 reviews being banned on Steam adds another layer of criticism and controversy in the already rampant DEI drama surrounding the newly launched RPG.

Any posts mentioning DEI topics in the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 reviews on Steam are reportedly being banned.

As spotted by @Pirat_Nation, the DEIDetected website founder Kabrutus reported on Twitter that any reviews discussing DEI in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 are being canned. Multiple reviews have been taken down even if they do not appear to be breaking any rules.

However, it is unclear whether the developers are involved with this drama since Steam moderators often deal with these concerns. Then again, DEI discussions surrounding other titles are also not taken down in this manner.

Some argue that Warhorse Studios is taking action by bringing these posts up to Steam mods to take down, while others think the platform is doing it to keep peace.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Despite massive controversies, KCD2 hit nearly 160k concurrent players with over a 90% positive rating on Steam.

Nevertheless, a Warhorse Studio developer also recently mocked a review for calling the game average in some departments, while another told gamers concerned with DEI to just not purchase the game in response to the harsh criticism. 

Do you think Steam should be banning these discussions about the game’s DEI elements, especially if they stay civil? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the  Tech4Gamers forum.
