Will Valve now start removing all games that are controversial or distasteful?

[Darian]

I'm serious, either Valve simply bucked under pressure of political activists because they feared losing money, or they have drank the cool aid

[Lost Tourist]

Personally I would like to see all games containing water-guns to be removed and banned because all water-guns should be banned throughout the world, except for criminals and bodyguards for democratic party.

Oh yeah, all Japanese games should be banned because they're rasberry, there are no grapes or watermelons in them, only cherries and strawberries.

Everything is controversial.

Do you see retailers selling RapeLay?

Are you really comparing a rape simulator to a game where you can kill people?

dude they took down air control years ago why are you posting about it now

Look steam has had plenty of stupidly bad games come onto their storefront with people complaining why such and such game is even for sale. Now we get a game that honestly looks like crap blocked and people flip out?

Steam can not win these days it seems.

It looks like crap? Who said that? Because the people that voted on Greenlight and pushed it to 7th place in 2 hours would disagree with you.

The sole purpose of the game is to kill innocent people.

People will whine Postal, GTA, Saints Row and so-on, completely forgetting that there's more to each and every one of those games.

RapeLay's sole goal is to rape those three girls.

Both are considered wrong, both games are controversial, and both are being rejected from stores on the idea that they'll cause a loss of sales and support.

So, yes. I'll compare them. I urge you to look at a list of games banned from retail in various countries.

Do you honestly believe that game that revolves around the mass murder of innocent civilians, to the point of the main character being a hateful, cold-blooded killer is somehow better than simulated rape? They seem equally abhorrent to me.

I said that, I mean you did quote me afterall.

Also with how many alt accounts are on steam, it is hard to clearly say how many actual unique individuals voted for that game, it could have been a pr team or the devs that made spam accounts.

I'm not sure I would say better, but the very fact that violent videogames are commonplace everywhere AND Steam has a couple of those already for sale like Manhunt, GTA and Postal 2, I'd say this is hypocritical to the maximum.

Besides, if you don't like it, you have the option of not buying it. What do you lose by having something that you were never going to consume in the first place available on Steam? How this offends your sensibility? Why my ability to purchase something I want is oppressing you?

You keep going with the conspiracy theories - I'll stay with what we know, and that is it got 7th place in 2 hours.

Ian't atleast one of those girls underaged?
But really.
Rapelay is a game where you rape someone. Find me a game where part of the gameplay consists of raping people. Yeah, doub't you will find many outside of the freaking visual novels if any at all.

Meanwhile we have in abudance the amount of games where you can mow down people in thousands. Many of them having even innocent people.

There's more to all of those games you listed. Have you even played any of them? I sure have.
I can really enjoy games like that. I'm not enough of a teenage ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to think Hatred is a good idea, though.

Steam holds the right to reject it from their store, as does any other (which is what they're doing)

Besides, I'd rather not have a bunch of impressionable eleven year-old emos grow up on Hatred.

Yeah, and those are banned in various countries or storefronts. The ones that aren't have more depth or make it optional, or can be bought directly from the devs.

There is no such thing as someone being "Innocent"

According to you, GTA should be banned from steam too because you can be rewarded for killing innocent people on GTA.

Trevor, thats all anyone who played the game needs to know.

[Rogue One]

I doubt that in Hated the trigger is automatically pulled by your character.

Just like in Postal/GTA/Sleeping Dogs/any other game where you can go on a killing rampage, you can still choose who you shoot.

Sure, the main objective is to kill as many people as you can, but so what? People do that when it is not the objective. What diffence does it make if it is? If you wanted to I'm sure you could choose to only shoot at people who attack you.
