creamlike504, do games w "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda

Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.

I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.

ChicoSuave,

The last time a Russian had a cultural achievement that impressed the world they had a tsar. There is nothing worthwhile coming out of Russia anymore.

grue,

Nah, the last time they did that was 1985, when Tetris came out.

RowRowRowYourBot,

Tetris is great and Nightwatch/Daywatch were fun movies to watch. The subtitles were dome in such a unique way that made the experience more compelling.

P1nkman,

Great movies, and so were the books they’re based on.

ChicoSuave,

Nightwatch was fine. Daywatch not so fine.

Tetris slaps. But that was the last time Russia added to human culture

pandamac,

A tsar? What? I’m not even defending the USSR, but there were great cultural achievements coming out of Russia and the larger USSR, both critical and propaganda, in literature and film.

NigelFrobisher,

Tatu were pretty good.

Play it just to sabotage my own teammates.

do they let players choose to be the north korean guys who say fuck this and go look at porn instead?

some_designer_dude,

Coming soon as DLC.

turkalino,

lol that happened?

samus12345,

I don’t blame them.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

That’s gonna be the next major Gamer lack of media literacy:

“I didn’t know I had the option to just shoot at the russians who were being racist toward me, uninstall the game, and masturbate for weeks at a time. This game is trash and full of plot holes”

GeneralEmergency, do games w "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda

Of course Steam would allow this.

Notorious libertarian Lord Gaben has no issue taking fascist money.

TheDarkestShark,

So Russians are fascist now?

massive_bereavement,

Is water wet?

NuXCOM_90Percent,

… now?

Crikeste,

Imagine getting thousands of kids addicted to gambling, while people still sing your praises. Cool world, cool people 👍🏼

Won’t be long and codemasters will end up like all other legendary studios like Maxis, Westwoods, Origin and many many more… On the EA graveyard

I am just surprised that it’s not being mass flagged. Very strange.

The ol Ender’s Game approach. Interesting move. Let’s see how it plays out.

SolidShake,

Sacrifice then all

Skua, do games w After parting ways with EA, WRC gets new home and six-year deal to "reboot" rally series

Well count me interested. I could really go for a version of Dirt Rally 2 with more multiplayer versatility

turtle,

How was the EA/Codemasters WRC title compared to the Dirt Rally titles? I didn’t buy it because it has Denuvo DRM, even on Steam.

vividspecter,

Seems to still have Denuvo and even has EA anticheat, which means no Linux support, even for single player.

turtle,

Bleargh, I’m glad I didn’t buy it. I’m making preparations to move to Linux.

Skua,

Couldn't tell you I'm afraid, I also haven't bought it. I grabbed DR2 because I saw it really cheap on sale and just wanted a rally sim rather than seeking out a specific one

turtle,

Cool, no worries. I keep meaning to buy DR2 on sale too. I will, eventually.

Skua,

If you're able to, get the version with the all the DLC. I think I paid £5 for that vs £3 for just the base game. The extra stuff is well worth getting

turtle,

Will do, thanks!

baropithecus,

I have both. EA WRC looks, feels and runs WAY worse compared to Dirt Rally 2.0, and that’s on my fairly beefy 5800x3d / 7800 xt desktop machine. Dr2.0 also runs perfectly on my steam deck, while I haven’t even bothered to try running EA WRC on it (it would run like shit if it ran at all, plus the install size is like a gajillion GB).

On the upside, the tracks are way bigger / longer in EA WRC, some of them are a bit more interesting, and there’s a cool pseudo-roguelite mechanic in the campaign mode where every week you choose what to do (main race or side race to appease the sponsor, recruitment of team members, resting, etc.). That said, I couldn’t bring myself to finish a single season due to how pathetically janky the driving is.

turtle,

Yikes! Good to know, thanks! I’m doubly glad I didn’t buy it now. I still have to buy DR2 anyway.

Interesting about the stages and mechanics. I love long/realistic stages, but that’s not enough to overcome the other issues.

baropithecus,

Be sure to grab it (DR 2.0, that is) before it’s inevitably delisted, it happens with all heavily licensed games. Even the original Dirt Rally is still fantastic if you have an older rig IMO, and it was going for two bucks years ago.

turtle,

Yikes, good point! I do have the original Dirt Rally and don’t want to miss out on 2.0.

HereIAm,

Well, you wouldn’t get far even trying to run EA WRC on the steam deck, as they added kernel level anti cheat after launch so it’s now incompatible with Linux.

Can’t wait for the Deadman Isekai. He’s gonna get ran over by truck-kun and wake up in the Baki universe. (He’s got protag powers and dick slaps Jack Hanma in the 2nd episode)

Is this any different from the US DOD making a FPS featuring actual battles from Iraq?

DragonTypeWyvern,

No, they both should be banned.

pastermil,

You mean Conflict Desert Storm?

RowRowRowYourBot,

“Operation Iraqi Freedom” America’s Army in its initial release would have maps uploaded weeks after fighting.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Both the developer, Pivotal Games, and global publisher, SCi Games, of Conflict Desert Storm are British. Pivotal Games closed in 2008 and SCi is a shell subsidiary of Square Enix. The publisher for the American release was Gotham Games, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, which closed down in 2003.

AFAIK, the Conflict series was not developed or funded by the United States government. To my knowledge, only “America’s Army” is a game directly funded and developed for the US government’s military branch. It also is published by the US Military.
