in a move that should probably surprise no one.
Hatred went up for Steam greenlight today.
Successfully upvoted by a large margin, and was accepted.
But then 7 hours later removed for violation of terms of service.
My personal opinion is the same as before.
I am pretty sure this game is just an experiment/viral pushing boundaries knowing full well someone will balk and ban it. I'd almost bet there is no actual game.
the GG crowd is up in arms. Dunno how much is false bravado, vs ignorance.
Steam is a private platform. And all platforms practice censorship. Steam, Walmart, etc do not sell Adult games. I'm not sure on xbox or sony systems, but Nintendo will not license an adult game.
actual content gets similar censoring all the time. Again, Nintendo did it regularly and very handedly for the longest time. much to their own detriment as time worn on. Nintendo's censorship a large part of the "kiddie" stereotype given to them. Honestly have to wonder if nintendos censoring had anything to do with their difficulty with 3rd party devs.
as many of the talks are now arguing. Manhunt is on steam, so is postal. GTA, and many other games of the same nature. and then we can look at movies, and as TB pointed out, The Human Centipede is on netflix instant ffs.
Freaking out and blaming SJW is stupid.
but, this does open up a good time to send emails to steam, or open a discussion at least on what is and is not acceptable in games. And what they should allow on their platform. Steam and valve should not try to be the moral authority.
