This game probably sucks. But I do want to play a game where you get the full russian conscript experience. Cruel and incompetent leaders, squad mates you can't communicate with because you don't speak the same language, equipment that doesn't work right or that you are not trained to use making bootleg alcohol that can make you go blind and a button that lets you commit suicide.
I am sick of being special ops or some lame shit in every military game.
I'm going to pirate it then go and sabotage the ruskis
I thought to do the same, but I don't want Russian software on my pc. Who knows what backdoors are built in.
The developer better avoid driving any cars lol
Just going to install the game to leave a negative review because if anyone deserves a review bomb it's this.

war crime simulator 2025
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.
Someone needs to do a mod where your armour is tissue thin and there are waves of fibre optic drones coming down at you.
Also, the soldiers are on crutches and there are side missions to loot toilets.
Play it just to sabotage my own teammates.
I wonder how people in the Middle East feel about Call of Duty.
Rami Ismail is Dutch but obviously cares about this topic. And when he seems to feel a particularly high level of self loathing, he talks about it online
https://kotaku.com/war-games-muslim-arab-call-of-duty-palestine-1851055848 is a great article that includes quotes from him and discusses the topic at large.
I'm sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the "counter terrorists" on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
You're not going to find a weapons maker with an unproblematic background (part of the problem with sourcing arms for your SRA meetup) but IMI certainly has a bad one.
They've also got a number of totally iconic weapons though. Separate the art from the artist and all that.
Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you're right they're all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.
That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies
that game blocked in Ru region in steam
Can I shoot my training cadre in the tutorial like those Central Asians did near the start of the war?
I am just surprised that it's not being mass flagged. Very strange.
Another thing to add to my list of why steam is a fucking shit hole since green light went away.
Yes... Because all those games where you play as some American grunt fighting in the middle East is something totally different and not comparable at all.
A small fraction compared to the indie games and puzzlers, or are you one of those just shut the whole thing down so nobody is happy kind-of people?
No, I'm one of those "I hate double standards" type of people.
There's always Counter Strike if you're on the side that the terrorists are the good guys
I want to see you explain how Spec Ops: The Line is the same thing as this propaganda shit piece.
I get the gist, I agree that games like America's Army shouldn't be on Steam but you can't just broad stroke all "grunt in the middle east" games as propaganda. They can end up being something totally different and not comparable at all.
Texas sharpshooter.
I'm not sure I follow. Are you acknowledging the very fallacy you stepped into?
And it looks like you don't understand what the fallacy means.
Okay dude. Come back when you've stopped being a cryptic little shit and can communicate like a normal person.
