Shadowstalker16: What if I told you that if you shut up about it, it may just go away? Think that's an idea worth trying? Or you could message everyone you know and their pet and ask them to sign a petition.
Exactly, when are people going to realize that the more you complain about something you view as questionable the more people are going to check it out? I mean no one would remeber Cannibal Holocaust had it not been so controversial and people made a big stink about it , same with Silent Night, Deadly Night or even the 42 or more films banned by the BBFC in the 80's during the Video Nasties panic as most were really terrible, forgettable films but because they made a huge stink about them people till this day still seek them out and original 80's UK VHS releases of these films like Boogeyman, Axe(which is actually a pretty decent but short film), House on Straw Hill, Zombie Flesh Earters and Ilsa She Wolf of the SS go for hundreds if not thosands on the collectors market.

Hell look at Hatred, that game would of came and went with no one really paying any attention to it had people not made a big stink about it.

Dejavous: Thank God this game doesn't appear on GoG I'd be very disapointed in the lack of sympathy to the victims of any shooting.

The company ACID and the developer Revived Games have a history of offensive titles, BUT this one takes the cake, I URGE everyone to report this game on steam as offensive it has should have NO PLACE on the market especialy right after another american school shooting.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/866890/Active_Shooter/

if these dirtbags want to monopolize off the death of children, make these BAS$#@#S set up a server and sell it themselves, not on a social delevery system like STEAM or GOG.
Congrats, you are doing exactly what they want you to do. Talk about it, had you just ignored it and move on it would of lost it's power. You know who the fourty theives were? They were a bunch of carny type film producers that specialized in exploitation films that exploits certain subject matter to get people to check out what is often a pretty low rent, poorly made film but because it's purposely controversial you get people outraged over it and you get curious people showing up to see what all the fuss is about. That is what these devs are doing they are pulling a page out of the old Fourty Thieves playbook. So be smart and shut up, ignore it and get others to do the same and this shit starts going away

This game looks offensive mainly because of how low quality it seems to be.

Just a pile of asset flips.

Dejavous: loved how you respond then run and hide behind being off line like the cowward you are, this just proves to me that your the type that will buy this game. I'll buy a brain when you grow a pair...
This is a forum and you are fucking retarded.
Sounds like a pretty cool idea for a game actually.

Didn't Postal already have spree-killing? This sounds like that but with the option to play as the cops too. Obviously Hatred did too but they didn't seem to have anything more than an idea........

They're apparently also planning to add a civilian mode in which you play a civilian trying to survive and escape from the shooting. That sounds interesting, might even be useful as training for such a situation.
Jim Sterling argues this game shouldn't exist because it may provoke governments to finally regulate games themselves. Really bad argument; because by this logic, everyone should just shut and be happy with what we have because we don't want to get the government involved. This is just appealing to the supposed wrath of a third party and doesn't value creative freedom.

Also it is pointless to just antagonise school shooting-sims when we already have adult shooting, stabbing, ripping out organs, decapitating etc. There is a point where these two acts of violence are morally equally bad, and to shun just one, especially so heavily when the other is accepted and has been an enjoyed practice is just hypocritical.

He also argues ''people won't take the industry seriously'', which is just a stupid. He's a powerful canon, but seems to fire of random shots occasionally.

It's especially eyebrow-raising because he took the opposite stance in pretty much this exact same controversy in his Grand Theft Adelaide video, presumably because that didn't involve a game that he personally found distasteful. Not to mention scoffed at the idea that outsiders need to "take video games seriously" back when he was with The Escapist.

It seems to me he's just as happy to have his own sensibilities forced on everyone else as any Fox News viewer. Highly disappointing, if you ask me.

I never heard of that game before. So from my point of view you just advertised it. How can you live with yourself?
I notice that as always the most well mannered users are doing their best to stay civil.

Watch this video, so at least you'll be quiet for a few minutes.

Strange. Not showing up for me. Maybe it`s to do with the region. Britain is becoming a censorship, restrictive Totalitarian State on anything that might `offend`, even though we have no guns!

I don`t believ in Censorship or that any game should be banned. If it`s good, let it go, if it`s crap it won`t sell. It`s just a freaking game.

But i do see people who are doing their best to censor everything and the ruddy sjws and feminist are working hard at it, not just those who are afraid of a bit of pixel blood.
