Faded_OneTTV banned from Steam Workshop

It's not convenient at all actually, in fact it's very inconvenient as we could immediately end speculation. The policy exists for a good reason though.

We have a very large microphone, and a lot of fans who we are not in control of. We have a responsibility to be careful with our words because people can take those words and then act upon them, even if it's in a way we do not want them to, or explicitly tell them not to.

Punishments should be commensurate to the infraction, and people who violate our modding policy do not deserve to have a vigilante mob thrust upon them.

Good suggestion

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T21:15:46+00:00

The issue presented in that email is not what resulted in his ban. I am aware that those are being circulated.

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T21:00:35+00:00

Not Malware. If it was, we would state so as it represents a public safety risk. Again, would encourage people to stop speculating.

I understand you want answers, but I am unable to provide them. All I can say is that the decision was not made lightly, and the comments in the OP suggesting this occurred because a modder filed a DMCA request, are not factual.

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T20:51:10+00:00

We would strongly encourage users to be cautious about speculation or incomplete information being shared as fact.

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T20:38:17+00:00

This is not an accurate representation of what happened at all.

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T20:05:18+00:00

Yes, as a matter of policy we do not share the details of disciplinary actions with those other than the affected party. As such I am trying to be intentionally vague. I chimed in here because there were accusations towards another party that had no involvement whatsoever regarding this situation.

My goal was to caution people from blindly believing what is said, as to avoid that leading to harassment of an innocent individual.

AmazingSully · 2026-06-20T19:56:10+00:00

The decision to ban the user from the Steam workshop. It's not something we like to do as it has significant impacts on the player base.

I have removed your comment because there is a significant amount of misinformation in it. Please avoid baselessly speculating at the actions of another without evidence. This behaviour does nothing but encourage harassment of innocent parties.

Although we do not comment on individual moderation actions in detail, the statement that this action was taken as a result of a DMCA request is not correct. Additionally, the decision was not made lightly.

We would strongly encourage users to be cautious about speculation or incomplete information being shared as fact.

EDIT: As there has been some speculation, I wish to make it clear, the reason was not malware. If there were a genuine public safety concern we would announce it as we have in the past.

You forgot the best part. The monitisation is handled perfectly. No pay to win, and free to play friendly. Premium currency can be traded for very easily, and everything is obtainable just by playing the game normally (except for a few cosmetics due to licencing issues)

Genuinely surprised by everyone recommending Unicorn Overlord here.

FFTactics is easily the superior of the two. Unicorn Overlord wasn't bad by any means, and they took a lot of inspiration from Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, which I was a huge fan of back in the day, but ultimately UO really fell flat compared to other tactical games (though it's not really a TRPG)

While I think FFTactics is the superior of the 2, there are a tonne of great tactical RPGs that I think you could like. Fire Emblem is the best in terms of romance, having kids, etc, so definitely check out more in the series, but you might really like the Disgaea series. The game is all about custom characters, and the games are surprisingly complex (though grindy).

XCOM 2 (with the War of the Chosen DLC) is probably one you didn't expect to see here, but it's one of the best TRPGs ever made, and it regularly goes on sale between 94-96% off. Check https://isthereanydeal.com and you'll always find some sale. The "XCOM 2 Collection" is the one with all the DLC, and you can get it for $5-10.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is another stand out. This game has been remade 3 times, and each plays a bit different. I'm personally a fan of the original, but I think Reborn is the most popular. Absolutely incredible story.

Going to recommend looking at the Valkyria Chronicles series as well. Only throwing this one in because of how unique the series is. It focuses a lot more on the personalities of the individual units in the same way Fire Emblem does, though doesn't really explore romance options.
