    Valve really needs to get around to moderating their platform in general. Actively enabling Russian propaganda is really just the tip of the iceberg here.

          If they forego their “whataboutism” then they’d actually have to stand for something which is against their Weekend Warrior code of honor.

            The unsettling part here is that Russia is the aggressor. If Russia stopped the war tomorrow there would be peace, if Ukraine stopped there wouldn’t be a Ukraine.

            So propaganda that glorifies Russia’s role in war is unsettling.

            *disclaimer this is on no way an endorsement of any war time propaganda, simply a philosophical observation.

            If it was realistic, both countries campaign would begin with you being a busdriver, kidnapped in broad daylight from behind the wheel and shoved to the front.

          Considering that steam is filled with american propaganda for war and the guy was concerned by this one case where the propaganda favors russia kinda sounds like he endorses american propaganda

      What if the russian’s are using it to get scenarios to further attack? Game should be removed immediately.

        Much easier for valve to ban the Russian one that most certainly wasn’t going to make any money for valve than the money printer that is COD. And it has the perk of never letting then reflect on their own past as part of the war propaganda engine

    Its an interesting topic. On one hand fuck russia and this of course needs to be removed - but if something like this is against the rules, why do we let the US army propaganda on steam? Chances of removing that are 0 and if there were a law against it, people would throw fits over it

      I’m American and would be EXTREMELY happy if we got rid of the US propaganda games as-well as this russian one.
