Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.
Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.
The worst part about it is that they usually pretend to be a queer person demanding queer representation in games in the most rude way possible and then people take this shit serious and take it out on actual queer people.
take it out on actual queer people.
I mean, considering how awful the kind of folks who would do such a thing are, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that’s probably the ulterior goal. Getting Steam points is just a bonus on top of helping convince other abusive right winger dipshits that queer people need to be attacked because of the fake queer people they made up.
I’m gonna hope it’s a troll.
But some people are really weird about “owning” games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price…
And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.

even if it’s not. There’s just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There’s a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.
Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.
