And it really only got flak because people love to blame video games for causing people to be violent. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:902221110] in Valve remo...

Smashingpmkns 05/29/18 11:57:19 PM #7:	I also think it was a bad idea and in super poor taste but where do we draw the line? The No Russian level was allowed to be released which is arguably just as bad if not more graphic. I do think developers and creative minds have some responsibility when it comes to this kinda shit though. --- Clean Butt Crew <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:902221151] in Valve remo...

Do you not think that it's appropriate for art to examine the real world and make you think critically about things?

I do think developers and creative minds have some responsibility when it comes to this kinda shit though. Really the issue is that releasing a game about school shootings close to a school shooting event is just in poor taste. And unfortunately in the US there might not be a point in which the game releasing would ever not be too close to a recent school shooting tragedy. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:902221269] in Valve remo...
