The Mexican Dream

So Six Days in Fallujah is too controversial, but this kind of abject racism is permitted?

I don't necessarily think that there is no place for this kind of humor, but what if it was a game where you're Germany in WWII trying to keep Jews from getting out? I'm surprised this one made it onto Steam.

way down in 1981 when playing Invader (browser: http://www.pacxon4u.com/space-invaders/ ) at the arcade
or maybe it was Centipde

i thought about (what we today would call) a mod or total conversion probably called Asylander
where 'pixel men' had to be stopped reaching the bottom of the screen as the fictional border ^-^

In the store page there is a flag near to the share/ embed, reported.

Thank you, Raied. I knew there was a way to complain/report a game, but I wasn't seeing where until you pointed it out.

that's insane that someone at Steam approved that one...

^Complaining, of course, begs the question...are video games and digital media a form of free speech that deserve a platform?

I believe they are. But as consumers we have the right to voice our displeasure at what we are finding on the shelves.

Agreed. I support the right of the developers to make this game.

However, I don't think it's appropriate or required for a distribution platform like Steam to give them a wider venue.
