I'd actually have liked some back story for the character as well as character development to make it seem less generic.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Sigma's straight Alien/Zombie-Shooters and isometric mouse+keyboard shooting is a lot of fun in itself, but since the game rode the whole "controversial"-wave, it should have a bit more content.
Does the story at least explain in some way why there are no children left in the world and is there any chance for a multiplayer mode where you can play the other side (police) or a second psycho? At least some simple deathmatch / capture the flag?

The whole Greenlight thing certainly helped, but IIRC Hatred already had gotten a fair amount of press attention for its release trailer alone (which came out right in the middle of the initial GamerGate blowup, and that certainly helped a lot too). The Greenlight thing wouldn't have even happened if people didn't already know about Hatred.

There us probably a lesson of some sort buried here.

Really? huh, I honestly didn't hear or seen any of the stink about this game till after the Greenlight incident. That's when I noticed that this even existed. Then again I have since stopped reading gaming websites years ago because they had become just click bait bullshit by that point and now have become filled with social commentary nonsense. If your going to do social commentary then make sure you at least have a fucking clue what the hell your talking so you don't come off as say Fox News, the Today Show or any other major news program.

Sorry about that but yeah as I said the whole Greenlight incident was the first I heard of it. I think that's when TB talked about it either on the Co-optional pod or Content patch.

I usually don't watch or trust in TotalS..head's reviews , but i have to see this .

edit : Stopped watching the video . He's talking about more about the bullshit than the game .

I have some questions:

- why ban the game?,
- where is our rights, where is our freedom to buy and sell everiting we want?, -
-this game is really harm anyone on the real life(the game is M for mature(adults not for kids))?,
- why the people are so sillly to compare kill polygons, to real tragedies?

for exemple why if GOG one day the say: "well we can't sell Guilty Gear serie because there is a travesti on it (bridget)" or we can't sell diablo saga because the amazone, the barbarian and the assasin are scantily clad, oh the sucubus, oh the inmorality!.

- where is the line then?

"I not like hatred", but I had seen much more violence on mortal kombat (this game is really disgusting for me) but I will never buy it too, because is my right like the customers of MK or Hatred have the right to buy it if they want.

then why not ban the news on tv, the movies (I had seen a lot of exemples of violence on it), why you not ban the stupid human nature, why you not ban the first enmendement of your contry (every contry has one, the mine has one)!

many of my friends in germany, are waching this polemic and the only they can do a national faceplam... because they had suffer the censoreship in their flesh, I'm 100% sure they would give anything for stop their politician decide what they can see and what they can't. I'm sure because I know many of these criminals (sarcasm), they play immoral games like Doom(It can't be posible!!), Wolfenstein(oh god!!), or Call of duty 1, 2 or world at war (inmorals)!!.

if this game is not published then do not complain when your first amendment (of your contry whatever is called) is crushed, you give the right to your politicians, you publisher, your store, the right to decided for others...

you are decided for the hatred customers then hatred customers will decide for you one day.

Well, it could be that the Greenlight incident was what really shot it into the public eye. I know there were articles written about it when the trailer released, though (that's when I first heard about it), and there was already debate about the game happening (at least between people on both sides of GamerGate).
He doesn't do reviews.

You've just answered yourself. This is GOG exercising this right. Their right to sell what they want. Which is also the right to net sell what they don't want. It's that simple.

GOG has given no reason as to why they have rejected Hatred. Please, don't jump to conclusions.

whiout an answer to developers?, is unprofesional and deshonorable. then why they ask for a copy of the game if they not intend to sell it?

They asked for a copy, they tested the game and then they decided that they don't want to sell the game. We don't know the resons (Price? Content? Gameplay? Technical reasons? DRM?), but the developers probably know them. So nothing wrong with it.

Is that thread stickied ? :-|

Thanks for that, cant see myself buying this tbh, cheers :)
