Santa's funeral envelope earned a comment from our postman. He's all "You know, I get all these letters from kids to Santa and here I am delivering news that Santa is dead and the reindeer are in jail" ::insert wtf face::

I'm honestly not sure what to do.

HA! I ordered the Cards Against Humanity's Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa gifts for yours truly this year and it is full of win. I'm deep in finals week and not able to devote time to solve the super secret puzzle that is part of the gifts. But I have enjoyed opening my lonely mailbox during the past few weeks to…

It's not censorship. This is the equivalent of not stocking a book in your bookstore because it advocates Nazi behaviour or something. It's their store, they can do what they want, it's not like the game is being pulled from the internet or actually censored at all.

oh give me a break. There's a reason GTA is a marketable game that offends little to no one. GTA is comical and down right laughable to the mass murders this game displays. Hell, I died on GTA from an old street walker punching me one time. ONE TIME. You can blow someone up with a rocket launcher and their body will…

Before saying that the media are "doing the same thing" as Jack Thompson, perhaps it would be best to read up on what Jack Thomspon actually did. I don't see any call for government intervention here, nor do I see a bunch of crazy lawsuits, or attempts to get the developers of Hatred arrested. Research. All I'm sayin'…

lol, no. Trust me. Anti-immigrant in Europe is just racism.

Steam is not the government, nor does it control all distribution channels for PC games. The creators of Hatred are free to continue developing their game, but Valve is under no obligation to carry it.

I'm pretty sure that a game that involves this kind of "audience" is something that steam just don't wanna be involved. And also, I couldn't expect different. Also the producers are linked to some anti immigration group...

Looks like a nice group there.

"I wished Valve just stood by its Greenlight policies and let the players have the ultimate say."

They can still express it, as that's their right. Steam's just not gonna publish it.

There are plenty of legit reasons to not want to be involved with this project that don't involve cowardice. They have every right to decide what they publish. You might as well call gamers who choose not to buy the game cowards as well, and for the same reason. And you'd be just as wrong.

Some really uh.. special posts on the Hatred Greenlight page before it got taken down...

Really? You pulled ordinary Joe out of that? That was a straight-up depiction of a sociopath. The fact that he has feelings doesn't mean those feelings need sympathy. If anything it felt like a campy glorification of striking back at a thousand imagined ills and slights. I don't think this game provides any…

Context is extremely important. Killing is bad, but killing for sadistic pleasure (like this game) is far, far worse than killing in self-defense. In most games, the people you kill are trying to kill you too, evening the grounds a bit. When you are attacking people that are totally harmless and non-threatening out of…

My only thought is this: examining violence in games, and how we react to it and why is important, but it's hard for me to muster that effort when there's something about this game feels fundamentally dishonest. I realize that may sound absurd, but... it screams marketing gimmick, and not a very good one at that—I…

Context has everything to do with it. There aren't innocent women begging for you to spare their lives in battlefield.

There's no line in art either. That's why child pornography and snuff films are totally legal. Wait. They're not. Apparently, there are lines. Whoops.

"I DO NOT THINK GAMES CAUSE VIOLENCE." I don't think they cause violence, but I think a game that is intentionally designed to teach the player to revel in the suffering of others in a semi-realistic fashion definitely has the potential to instigate violent acts. There is a reason why combat simulators, flight…
