Yep. All you had to do was go on the Steam forums for this and see tons of posts saying "I'm buying this just to trigger the snowflakes! LOL!"They knew it would garner a ton of negative attention which would inevitably lead to more sales than they've ever seen before. Much like what happened with Hatred.
And nothing of value was lost. Just heard about this "game" on NBC Nightly News, the story written before confirmation on whether Valve would actually do anything. Clearly not the sort of attention the company wanted for Steam, but still odd that White Power: Pure Voltage was something they saw and Valve thought, "Okay, put this here".
This showed up on Reset about a week ago with this thread. Its just been hitting the news over the past couple of days.How did d nbc know about this game before we did? It's all highly suspect but if it was real I'm glad it's gone.
The fucked up part is if this was done tastefully, I could see it being interesting subject matter and similar to Life is Strange.
This only makes me want Life is Strange 2 to tackle this issue tastefully.
White Power: Pure Voltage.
What the fuck. How did that even make it up on the store front?
That wasn't its original name, they changed it randomly to that.White Power: Pure Voltage.

When Valve sever their business relationship with a dev they will generally remove all their games from sale, without exception.I'm not sure I like this.
I get active shooter and myabe even "white power" depending on the context of the game. But did any of those other ones defy Steam's terms of service?
I don't, that was terrible.
There's still a fairly big proliferator of that sort of garbage who Valve seemingly refuses to action.Fucking great.
I've been noticing, on my side, Valve putting more and more policy in place to make sure vaporware and hateware does not get through.
