Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, they removed a game that got in the top 10 in two hours for totally vague reasons. How does that make them neutral at all?


if they added, the sjw circlejerks would make some bad media Terrorism against them and say that they are pro gamergate, that they aprove racism and etc(and the civilian public is dumb enough to fall on that shit talk), and this would hurt in their sales.

And now that they removed the Gamer side is pissed off at them, but, they saw what the Dev said and agreed at least that this would hurt valve and steam's Image because of the Terrorism, they still ahve something planned for it(im shitting a big rule here)


also, i still believe that valve will Ninja Add the game without Greenlight to evade some polemics by now, now that they saw how popular the game is, they will simply await until the dust settles over so they can add it without problems.

Among the options they had, it was probably seen as the one likely to court the least amount of controversy for them. Valve doesn't want to touch this with a ten foot pole, most likely.
But the entire Postal series on Steam and Postal 2 alone is way worse than this.


I'm going to say it again: Hatred is basically the Violent Shit of video games and to me, looks like crap. But I don't think it should be banned from sale on Steam or anywhere else for that matter. I'm just going to do what any normal person does and just not fucking buy it.

The controversy on this one seems like it's bigger than anything Postal has done.

People aren't defending the game because it's good or because it represents them, but because a move like this encourages stuff like that to happen more often whenever a controversial game comes out, it doesn't even need to be a violent game.
I dunno it's just so cartoonishly "90's politician's worst fear about violent videogames", so engineered to court controversy that it doesn't seem like it would set a lot of precedent, IMO. If there starts to be a pattern I would be worried, but I just can't get very worked up about it.

Postal 2 has animal cruelty in one of the main missions and also lets you piss on people. Hatred, so far from what we've seen, keeps it to just killing people.

GTA banned from Target and Kmart in Australia and now this. Yeah, you should be worried at this point.

postal was literally the poster child for "violent games harm people"

they had a whole section of the game where you murdered the associations protesting the game.

Nice, I guess all of the sudden outrage helps.

But it tells me that the stupid action that Valve did earlier in the day is quite pointless. I meant, if they do not have a valid reason to take down the Greenlight, then why take it down in the first place, then put it back up again?

I was mostly talking about a pattern of Steam doing it, but yeah that Australia ban is concerning. At least things are better than they were 10 years ago, at least (what with games now being allowed to have 18+ ratings).

I remember Postal, I don't remember it ever being banned or anything (although it apparently was, in New Zealand? huh), but yeah, this seems like a bigger deal. GTA strikes me as a much better comparison, but of course that series has obviously attracted a lot more attention.

Question: in order to make that fake submission, does he have to pay the $100 fee that comes with every Greenlight submission?

If so, then what a waste of a good $100! Do you know how much food that one can buy and eat with that much money?

But then again, a fool and his money are easily separated.

You only pay 100 dollars once and then can send as many submission as you want.

Also this comment is gold:

Back off guys. He obviously hasn't included everything into the game yet, but I can tell he cares about diversity and inclusion. I was born with my thumbs on the wrong side of my hands. I've been mocked for it all my life. When I look at the art for this game I almost cried. I've been playing video games for over two decades now (with a special controller) and this is the first time I've seen someone with my condition represented.
pls
