Something different, something that could give the player a pure, gaming pleasure.” Epic Games, maker of the Unreal Engine that the isometric shooter uses to run, denounced the game and requested that their logo be removed from the trailer. Rumors also began to circulate that the Destructive Creations CEO Jarosław Zielińsk had Neo-Nazi sympathies, which he vehemently denied (his argument: that he’d liked an infamous Polish hate group’s Facebook page because of their Middle East news, and didn’t actually know what else they were up to beyond that).īut the game still has an overwhelming amount of supporters who’ve latched onto the political goals of the game, as outlined in a statement on the Destructive Creations website (note that English is not their first language, all sic): “These days, when a lot of games are heading to be polite, colorful, politically correct and trying to be some kind of higher art, rather than just an entertainment – we wanted to create something against trends. Hatred had already seen its fair share of backlash, of course. After a few hours, Hatred‘s Greenlight campaign had already gotten 13,148 votes and made it to #7 on the list of all Steam Greenlight games, which under normal circumstances probably would have gotten it greenlit. Developers are encouraged to submit their own games with a video, screenshots, and a written description of the game’s system requirements, and from there users can vote on which games they’d actually want to buy from Steam. Steam Greenlight is a service that allows users to select what new games will be offered for purchase on the online game distribution network.
Basically, it’s about a serial mass murderer who goes on a ‘genocidal crusade’ against innocent civilians because he hates the world-you know, every goth middle schooler’s dream! But now the game’s getting attention not for its hyper violence, but for getting banned off of Steam Greenlight.
Hatred‘s trailer made waves earlier this back in October for being… well, pretty disturbing ( here’s a link, but know that it’s incredibly violent before you click).
