Why is steam allowing this game to be hosted on their platform?
Its approach to moderation has been the same as Musk's on X. Extremely permissive, with racist games like Tyrone vs Cops or Yasuke Simulator doing OK despite sufficient reporting on them. There are also countless groups and users profiles that promote the Russian invasion, others that promote neo-Nazism, and so on.
Meanwhile when my dudes made a curator page called Ironic Shitposting Is Shitposting they removed it multiple times. Clearly they have a bias on what bad things are allowed.
I'd be kind of surprised if it wasn't to be honest.
Outrageous to see a product that openly condones the abduction of over 20,000 Ukrainian children and countless war crimes committed by russian invaders. The developer, who openly identifies as russian on his linked social media and resides in Moscow, makes no effort to hide this, which alone should raise concerns over violations of international sanctions! Even more disturbing is that the game's description admits to targeting and radicalising young people, including members of Yunarmiya: an organisation notorious for politicising children in russia!
Please report ASAP! Use the flag icon from the Steam Store page"!
After playing US propaganda games since mid 80's I find this disturbing... or not.
the bottom line is we all need to be more saavy to what the power of games is. play has always been a way of engaging the youth and teaching them the lessons we want them to use in life. for decades we've ignored what the games industry is putting out as long as it's fun, or worse, just unquestioningly accepting that games are for boys and boys are into violence and the explicit objectification of the female form
I guess the Ukranians are training small unit tactics in Left 4 Dead, based on the russian loses.
Edit: and training defense in Orcs Must Die?
