Comment on US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam

It has been removed in the EU on behalf of french anti-terrorist authorities. So this is an actual terrorism-concern and not just censorship.

Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

hey, a fellow linux user. Long-time or recent?

Been using Linux for 20 years.

So what is your judgment call? Was the October 7th attack terrorism or not?

  Do you think Palestine sprung into existence on October 7? Why does every discussion of Israel being genocidal colonizers come down to an incident that happened decades after their oppression of Palestine began?

yeah, I’m sorry, but I disagree. That’s a conspiracy like Q-Anon, meant to make you feel like you’re something special, a “Truth-seeker” in a world of “global conspiracies”. This game was removed for valid reasons because it is an omage to terrorism and glorifies and validates that terrorism.

  Oh no an action shooter where the brown people are the heros? Stop the god damn presses.

  I recall from the interview when the UK blocked it the creator said “you do nothing in it you don’t do it Black Ops. But only mine is terrorism, it’s purely political.” (paraphrased)
  
  I’ll confess that I’ve not played either of them, so I don’t know how true that holds. But I do know that a lot of those console shooters are very political and the world seems fine with it when it’s a US avatar shooting up Arabs.
