It is ridiculous that Steam pulled this. If they are going to turn down games that their users request in mass, don't have voting for a game to come to Steam in the first place. Just put up what you want.
I also don't get peoples overreaction to Hatred. There have been other games like Hatred before, but just because it has better graphics than those previous games, it's "evil." I mean, all this game really is is a remake of the first Postal. (Edit: Guess posting the vid didn't work, so here's a link.)
And also, watch just about any GTA5 playthrough and around half the time is spent "murdering" innocent people when the player is just screwing around. Hell, the main enemy you kill in the game are officers of the law just doing their job. And that's not even mentioning the innocent civilians you harm/kill in the main storyline. To me it just seems like people like to fake like they are better than others because they find that shooting/stabbing polygon characters is unacceptable and upsets them in one game, but are completely fine shooting/stabbing similar polygon characters in other games. Usually coming up with poor reasonings as to why its okay in the games they enjoy.

if you seriously do not grasp why a game SPECIFICALLY about mass murdering your community is DIFFERENT than GTA then you are hopeless.

No, I just don't have a false sense of moral superiority. One where I think its ok to kill fake people in one game, but evil in another. And plot is a poor excuse to murder innocents, especially when the player does it of his own free will.

The "it's so violent" reaction to it really amusing. All the devs did was ditch the sugar coating that is "plot" and instead presented a game that uses what we consider "side activities" in GTA, Fallout, TES, etc. as the core game. So what if it the killing has no purpose? It doesn't deserve to be yanked off in the stores. What it deserves though is poor review scores, for being such a generic twin stick shooter with no sensible rhyme or reason-- but I'm just making assumptions here based on the trailers that I saw.
That being said, I have a weak stomach for gore, so the trailer was a bit uncomfortable for me...and I don't think I'll be playing a game as bland as that.
