Steam, finally, rules out the publication of the controversial Rape Day

It is a video game that encouraged to enjoy violating women in a zombie apocalypse.

Rape Day is a video game about raping women. Although at first we believed that the visual novel had been removed almost immediately from the store, the truth is that it has been until a few hours ago present in the digital bazaar. Now, after being under review by Valve since March 4, it has been decided not to approve its distribution.

“After a deep investigation and debate, we have come to the conclusion that Rape Day poses a series of unknown costs and risks, therefore, it will not be on Steam, ” the platform said in a statement . “We respect the desire of the developers to express themselves, and the purpose of Steam is to make it easier for them to find their audience, but these creators have chosen a content and a way to present it to the audience that makes it very difficult to help them in the task,” they added.

Rape Day, we repeat, presented as a playable premise a visual novel where the player, “deservedly”, should enjoy raping women in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. For now, it is unknown if it will be available in another store.

Its creator, of course, already made clear, days before the controversy, that he would not surrender in case Valve will block Rape Day on Steam: “We will make sure that there is a content platform for all kinds of legal and pornographic games of quality . ” “Most people know how to separate fiction from reality quite well, and those that do not, should not play video games,” they added in one of his exposed arguments.
