Thank you for your interest in developing products for the Microsoft Store 1. I do think that this attention as negative as it is could be good for the game developer it definitely has sparked my interest.ĭo you think that Hatred pushes new limits or is it the same controversy of violence in video games? Comment below.Some older versions of this agreement, along with summary of recent changes are available at Change history for Microsoft Store Policies.
This game does not create any new controversy as the Grand Theft Auto series has made killing a controversy in the past. Although Hatred is about a man running on a killing spree it is not conveying the message to do so. They are made to be a form of entertainment and be taken just as that. I feel as though gamers and non-gamers need to take a step back and look at a video game for what it is. This movie was not pulled in fact when I watched it, it was streaming on Netflix. Although the killer had a motive of money he still slaughtered many innocent lives. SPOILERS: The protagonist ends up getting away after framing his friend as the killer by forcing him into a suicide position while wearing the killers armor. The movie is based on a killer who murders his way through a small town.
Rockstar has created many video games that pushed the envelope in terms of violence and other controversial issues.Įven when stepping away from the video game industry and looking at movies these issues are still relevant (looking at Rampage (2009) as a prime example in this case. However, that game did have a lot of it and sure there were people upset about the launch, but they got over it and the game still sold. State of Emergency that was developed by Rockstar Studios was not entirely concentrated on killing innocent people. It seems as though pulling this game is a bit harsh of a move for what is supposed to be a fictitious world.Īlthough this is a new spin on a third person shooter it isn't like it's the first in killing people. The player is to have no mercy when it comes to shooting, stabbing, or blowing up individuals. Hatred puts the player in control of a character whom hates people and pins them up to kill civilians and cops alike. Hatred was initially pulled from the Greenlight section of Steam, but since the initial decision it has been put back up.
