Destructive Creations, the developers of Hatred, made a product, and Valve has exercised their free market option to not carry it. Good on Valve!"
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
The problem people have with it is that Valve does leave horrible, broken games to be sold on Steam, and they pull this despite the community wanting it. They are just afraid of bad publicity, and while they do have the right to pull the game from their store, you can ask yourself if it's good they decide what gamers can and can't play, especially with how inconsistent they are.
I always think it's a bad thing when a consumer has his/her choice taken away from them, and that's what Valve has done.
The community spoke, and they wanted the game. Valve removed it, all the while leaving some broken messes out there for consumers to buy.
If Valve is trying to look out for consumers, their efforts would be better spent pulling broken trash off of their store instead of a game that, while controversial, many obviously wanted to play.
Whatever your thoughts on the game might be, I would hope we could all stand up for our rights to buy what we want, no matter how distasteful the game might be (depending on your view of the game).
Valve has the freedom not to sell Hatred, the same way Hatred has the freedom to exist as a game.
Hatred is back on Steam Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/s...
hatred did nothing new that other games have done before it postal, gta,man hunt,punisher,mortal combat, to name a few all have come before hatred.
in the end its just a mindless shootem up game with what looks to be little to no story.
