Removing the game was logical, moral and in the spirit of good taste. Putting the game back on is the reverse of those things.

F U Valve and F U Gabe, no wonder I use you less and less.


the spirit of good taste isnt important to society, the freedom of art is.  and moral isnt something universal.

It maybe on Greenlight and one day may be available for purchase on Steam but that doesn't mean countries won't ban it. The US government still might.

The U.S. government has never banned a video game before, and I'm fairly confident it won't start with some obscure Polish knock off of Postal. And if they tried it, the bitchslapping the Supreme Court would give them would make Hatred look like Barbie Horse Adventures.



Good, good. No matter how untasteful the game is, it has the right to be sold. It's a slippery slope banning things, so I value freedom of speech very highly.

And just for the record, I'm not interested in the game. If I wanted a mindless shooter with probably average mechanics, I'd probably have something in my backlog already. And if I wanted something good at that, I might own that too. Serious Sam would be a nice bet.

Art? This "game" is the definition of a murder simulator all those politicians like to classify all violent games as. Publishing this game is detrimental to the reputation of the entire industry.

And good taste is essential to any society and any man. It has become very hard for people to form good taste in the age of the internet.

The act of murder is art in itself.

Yes, which is why we should enjoy what we've got and be vary of pushing the envelope in such tasteless ways.

we havnt played the game yet, and yes, every videogame is art, just like every book is art... 

and politicians are way to uninformed to know such games, they still use Counterstrike and GTA as examples, and not realy brutal games.

 

who made somebody king to decide what is good taste an what not? was it the same stupid person who removed the cigarrets from beatles covers?

I don't see the problem. Innovations tend to come by pushing the envelope, no matter the way!

Nah. For all I've heard, it sucks as a game and is any good only if you find its 'humor' funny. I don't, unfortunately.
