    CO can ban them from posting on their forums if they take it to far.

    The comments are tame as fuck compared to most community/developer interactions.

        You can block emails as well. You can moderate your steam forums and youtube comment section and Twitter replies. I can’t think of a single place where CO is interacting with the community that they can’t block/ban users who are mean.

            What’s your point then? Of course they have forums Steam and paradox forums and reddit are the main places to interact with Colossal order. CO has never said they are getting death threats so I don’t know where you get that from.

            It seems that you’re getting misinformed by game journalist blogspam. CO is mad that the mood on their forums is sour and they are getting called out for releasing an undercooked buggy game for full price after months of misleading marketing. Everytime they post an update the comments are filled with sour posts complaining about real issues that have still not been fixed 3 months later.
