No, but seriously I can't decide what's more offensive, the content or the fact that someone took the time to make such a shit game based on one terribly unfunny "joke".

How can this shit get through even payment?
If I were Valve, I'd also pull such flash game off Steam Greenlight. It's laughable to be able to sell such shit.
Wow.. that's.. hilarious but in a sort of [I]southpark completely morally twisted and incredibly politically incorrect[/I] way. Surprised it even got to greenlight in the first place..
Who the hell allowed it to be greenlit at all?
I suppose valve will still catch shit for doing this though.

If I were Valve, I'd kill greenlight instantly and upgrade the company where it needs to be upgraded, like in the support department.

The glorious community of course.
This is like southpark - gta level shit.

But South Park and GTA are satirical, what is this satirizing? This is just edgy content for the sake of controversy or an "elaborate" form of hate speech.

I'd like to see how it fares with the limitations their adding to new accounts, there are quite a few games that would never have been greenlit if they didn't receive votes from these throwaway accounts.
This of course can't stop people voting on something based off the novelty of it and not because the game will be anywhere near decent.
i kind of wish this was just put up there as a "fix greenlight" message to valve
not holding any hope though
kill the faggot

If this is pulled, Hatred should be pulled as well. This is obviously a crap, joke game, Hatred actually seems to take itself half-way serious.

But Hatred isn't hate speech.

I guess this is kinda at the same level as dead baby jokes - just meant to be as offensive as possible.
[QUOTE=Korova;47657131]But Hatred isn't hate speech.[/QUOTE]
Nah, this game is obviously about the psyche of the main character, who's just really homo- and transphobic. It's actually really deep.
Did a 10 year old develop this garbage by any chance? Judging by the quality of content in that vid I imagine that's all it took

No, apparently they have a physical studio in Los Angeles and they have a ton of voice actors working on their upcoming project (which Kill The Faggot is a part of, probably some arcade game in the game)
What the fuck.

it just advocates the killing of innocent people and mass murder.
not really sure there's a real difference.

Studio? That could just as easily be an apartment.

Not quite sure they understand what a good run is

The difference is that hatred hates everyone equally, and from what we've seen it dosent make light on the fact that the protagonist is a mass murderer. On top of that most people know that going on mass killing spree is wrong.
This game just turns the act of killing a minority group into a joke complete with stereotypical dialogue when you shoot people as opposed to something more realistic like agonizing screams. On top of that there are still people today that actually think this is an ok thing to do irl.

That was absurdly hilarious. It's fucked up, but its either terribly misguided and the idea that anyone in this modern era is still of that sort of world view is perplexingly absurd or it's just poorly aimed satire.
But fucking "Aids carrier eliminated!!!!" is so fucking stupid haha.
So valve does have some quality control after all
I do think it's a good thing this was a removed, but for completely different reasons than most people in this thread.
Personally couldn't give less of a fuck that it's offensive, but it's a fucking flash game. It has no place in any market.

they don't give a shit lol this is like, sam hyde MDE levels of "fuck you"
This game looks like it was made with stills from a Gmod map with no lighting. Also, the black guy looks like Louis running in a purple shirt.

Seems like a clutch move to try and advertise their studio.
Or a waste of $100, whatever you prefer.

Exactly, this stuff is clearly to irritate but I always see stuff like MDE or I guess this, as a sort of self-aware act of high absurdity that often nearly falls heavily to one side of the real/fiction scale but is usually at its best when it strikes that balance both infuriates and criticizes. Yes, I am talking up a "hurr durr I was only pretending to be retarded" sort of act, but it's legitimate if I see this kind of thing and it only helps me to laugh at pitiful people who do actually believe in this sort of thing.
