Thanks for the heads-up.
I have all of his previous games, and I enjoy his brand of weird, "quirky", and frequently downright bizarre games, so I'm in.
For those unfamiliar with them, and if you enjoy something a bit "off the wall", do check them.
For example:

You can always do this.
If I'm being asked for a reason when reporting a post in Steam Community forums, normally I cited "disruption of other steam users' enjoyment by misusing the forum's posting privilege". The mods probably won't action the report right away, but I've reported dozens of these in the past and it almost always resulted in the post being removed.
I'm aware that we shouldn't really have to do this ourselves, but I guess this is the state of being a part of an online community, for better or worse. Of course, people probably don't have time to do this when there are bigger concerns elsewhere, but I reckon to be proactive about it --however small-- is what being a community is all about.
I spent several hours this week doing exactly that. It doesn't work. Most posts aren't deleted. And the ones that are, the authors simply go and post the same crap again.
I follow several of the games I own, for the updates, and whenever someone posted a message about Ukraine (the Book of Demons developers, the Atom RPG developers, whose team is almost all from Ukraine; and many more) I knew what would come next: a torrent of insults and harassment.
There was, for example, a guy who was posting numerous times how the Western countries were a bunch of whores, and talking how Europe were a bunch of Nazis, and how Russia would wipe us all like pigs, and kill all the Nazis in Ukraine. I reported his posts. None were removed. He posted this on the news posts, reviews, and forums of several games. Nothing was done.
I really can't agree with Valve's "all is permitted" policy. And don't get me started on the profiles filled with swastikas and stuff.
I barely use social media, so I don't get to interact with this level of toxicity elsewhere, but on Steam, currently, just following a game, or clicking on a store page, pretty much guarantees I'll get pissed off, because I see this crap all over.
