    Lmao you know Westerners have been brainwashed when they react like this, but are fine with CoD.

    The west had their own warcrime simulators topping the charts during the “War on Terror”

      Most of the popular online fps games have Amerikkkan warcrime simulators and then there are cop simulators like SWAT games.

      The reactions are crazy like most people doing it haven’t tortured brown folks in some other franchise at some point. I at least could respect a universalist stance against these types of games but only approved war crimes apparently.

        You could change your region maybe? I know Steam cracked down on that though so not sure how good that option is anymore.

    It’s free to play btw so you can just positivebomb it. Also it’s F2P game still at “mixed” even after negbomb? Lmao it must mean it’s actually good since most F2P games are at mixed without negbomb, they are just bad.

    Personally, I don’t want to play a realistic war crimes simulator like that other guy. Maybe I’m just too much of a lib idk

      Right? If I’m shooting someone in the head I’d like to at least be able to pretend I have a moral high ground. (I also shot an NPC in a game today because I was being moralistic this is not a sarcasm.)

    They really shouldn’t allow reviews from people who have played less than 2 hours of a game. Though that could mean shovelware games use that as a means to avoid negative reviews. In fact, I would say the whole steam review system is deeply flawed and exists as it currently does solely because steam couldn’t be bothered to properly moderate their user reviews.

      i need about 90 seconds to find out a game makes me physically ill and maybe another five minutes looking for a setting that isn’t in a menu or for some hack to download.

      if you have zero hours and didn’t even download it maybe your “review” should just get hellbanned, on the other hand, I want people calling jk rowling a transphobe in the reviews of any harry potter media

        It’s Fursan Al-aqsa, a game made by a Brazilian Palestinian where you play a Hamas fighter and frog-no-pretext IOF settlers.

        A computer game that allows users to recreate aspects of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel has been removed from the popular gaming platform Steam in the United Kingdom at the request of counterterrorism police, according to emails and the game’s creator.

          the gameplay itself is more toned down, with players immediately failing if they shoot unarmed civilians.

          I mean, if you’re literally only allowed to kill soldiers, one is left to wonder where the terrorism is

    LET ME STEAL TOILETS DAMMIT

    I just want to pick up a heavy, bulky, useless piece of porcelain and schlep it around the map. Is that too much to ask for?
