Fanaticals newest "Killer" bundle includes a Kyle Rittenhouse game [Update: Game Removed & Bundle Updated]

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

I will not link the bundle, but the newest Killer Bundle includes a game that is based on Kyle Rittenhouse.
Objective of the game, shoot Antifa, trans, feminist etc. Zombies.

What the fuck Fanatical.

 

[Atom]

Holy fuck not buying from them again.

 

[mrbogus]

Jesus. Valve just allows any old shit on Steam I guess and Fanatical bundles it up for sale.

 

[5taquitos]

Welp guess I'm not buying fanatical keys for the giveaway thread anymore. Fuck that shit.

 

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

I really wonder what the other devs who are featured in the bundle think that they are featured beside an alt-right game.

You'd have to be pretty fucking ignorant to not see what's going on with that game.

You can't be a global publisher and be "ignorant" to shit like this.

 

[Bane]

Ah, this thing. I saw it during the Steam sale and it's... it's really something.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

The fact that this is a Steam game, that has been released two months ago and has almost 700 reviews which are "Overwhelmingly Positive" makes this even worse. Wtf Valve?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Steam should be avoided as well for hosting this game in this first place. I don't think they should get a pass for this.

i dont think feminism, trans people and antifas are just "US issues"
actually the UK knows a whole lot about some of them thanks to some prominent bigot figures

Well I guess that explains why the wario64 tweet promoting the bundle went missing.

The devs who made this are from Sweden, so I'm sure the Rittenhouse shit got around. This stuff doesn't stay isolated to the US.

Has Britain never heard of right wing domestic terrorism?

This is never an excuse, especially when it comes to companies that do anything internationally

Rittenhouse was pretty well publicised over here and the game in question mentions him constantly in the reviews. There's no excuse.

That character is dressed exactly like Kyle Rittenhouse was that night.

 

[Coolluck]

Capital G Gamers at it again. Many companies at fault here, too. Thanks for the heads up, OP.

 

[Rosebud]

Had no idea this game existed, just reported at Steam even if it's probably useless

 

[SigSig]

Fanatical absolutely deserves getting shit for this, but why is this even on Steam in the first place?

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

The laissez-faire content distribution system has its problems and this is one of them.

 

[Kirksplosion]

Yeah, I'll completely cease my Fanatical buying if they don't pull this shit. Hate it because their VR bundles are nice, but not worth it for this. Holy shit, man. Do better.

Oh we've heard of Rittenhouse alright, this is definitely far right bellendery

What's Fanatical? A Humble Bundle equivalent?
Fucking gross either way and yeah it doesn't matter where they're from
This shit is on Steam??

Fanatical has some nice bundles once in a while.

 

[Pakesaker]

I've purchased several Fanatical bundles before, but this is gross. Hoping it is was an honest mistake and that they remove the game from the bundle and issue an apology. If nothing is done I won't be buying from them again.

 

[Grenchel]

It's not just an alt-right game, it's a game where you celebrate a person who killed other people. Fuck that.

Yep. Valve has next to no interest in curating what is available on their platform unless it's after the fact so you get beyond tasteless crap like this, scam games and games that don't even run properly.

Fanatical as of late has been getting more quality bundles of games compared to Humble...just not this one that had that game.

Seems like Fanatical took it down. Also it helps to report the game on the Steam store and explain how this publicizes hatred. I did when the game popped up back then.

 

[Rowsdower]

Excuse me Valve let this on Steam? What the fuck?

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

100% I'm gonna report the game on steam.

 

[Sidebuster]

What you shouldn't publish on Steam:

1. Hate speech, i.e. speech that promotes hatred, violence or discrimination against groups of people based on ethnicity, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation

I can't report this because I don't know what game it is, but it seems pretty clear it's violating rule 1.

Oh wow. Just happened because I was looking at the bundle right after this thread went up. Hope they're doing the right thing...

Yeah looks like it was taken down. Who knows how or why it was added at all. Gross negligence I guess

They don't "allow" things, anything can be released there, all we can do is reporting the game

[Kirksplosion]

Reporting on Steam seems like it'd be useless since it's been on Steam for 3 months now, but maybe worth trying anyway.
