Well... Valve is a very interesting study in that regard. They have voted for violence, topics bordering to meme hate speech, pornography, but have voted against crypto shit and now AI.
Not making a verdict either way but I find it interesting. I'd like to know more about the internal discussion(s) that took place to establish their frameworks. Especially given the company is private.
For what it's worth, I think I would vote the same way, perhaps with the difference being against the hate speech depending on how bad it was.
Games with significant Crypto and AI art components bring significant risks to Valve in both legal and social contexts (99.9% of modern crypto-related projects are an intentional scam, and AI art is a legal minefield right now).
On the other hand, violence and pornography are much more accepted by society (in the context of fictional enterntainment).
I think it makes perfect sense that they care more about their users not falling for a crypto scam on their platform than the actual content of the games
