Can I shoot my training cadre in the tutorial like those Central Asians did near the start of the war?
that game blocked in Ru region in steam
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.
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.
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.

Of course Steam would allow this.
Notorious libertarian Lord Gaben has no issue taking fascist money.
So Russians are fascist now?
… now?
Is water wet?
Imagine getting thousands of kids addicted to gambling, while people still sing your praises. Cool world, cool people 👍🏼
I am just surprised that it’s not being mass flagged. Very strange.
Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.
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.
Tatu were pretty good.
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.
Great movies, and so were the books they’re based on.
Nightwatch was fine. Daywatch not so fine.
Tetris slaps. But that was the last time Russia added to human culture
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.
Nah, the last time they did that was 1985, when Tetris came out.
I don’t think they remove military propaganda from Steam. Fascist military sims from fascist countries are specifically allowed.

What’s this? It‘s blocked in my region.
The last of America’s Army games, see this steamdb page for screenshots. I tried it years ago and got a vibe of proto-insurgency, it’s somewhat realistic, even the tutorial is decent, but as you can imagine they just wanted a good recruitment tool and this wasn’t it.
I played it back in like 2003. It was pretty fucking high class back then, when it came to realism. You could cook nades and decided whether you roll or toss them. You could also peek/lean. I believe it’s kinda common nowadays, but those were some fancy things back then. CS wasn’t even CS:GO back then, but like CS 1.5-1.6.
I never played it through Steam though.
Played on American servers and always had like 180 ping. Still managed to snipe decently.
But even back then I understood it was obviously propaganda, because you’re never allowed to play as “the bad guys”. You’re always an American, and you’re shooting people vaguely Middle-Eastern enemies. From your POV, you’ll rock an M16, but from your enemy’s pov, you’re using an AK47.
I think if they hadn’t tried forcing that bit, it might’ve seen more success.
Pure propaganda, sure, but I enjoyed it as a kid.
It also had a link to thier recruit sign up page in game if I remember correctly. Also was one of the first free to play milsims.
The mindblowing thing is that, if wikipedia doesn’t lie, the same developers also made fucking Moonbase Alpha
Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
John Madden!
Me seeing you reply with that GIF, then reading your username:
do they let players choose to be the north korean guys who say fuck this and go look at porn instead?
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”
lol that happened?
I don’t blame them.
Coming soon as DLC.
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.
Is this any different from the US DOD making a FPS featuring actual battles from Iraq?
You mean Conflict Desert Storm?
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.
“Operation Iraqi Freedom” America’s Army in its initial release would have maps uploaded weeks after fighting.
No, they both should be banned.
Play it just to sabotage my own teammates.
Time to start posting reviews with:
- “This game is impossible to win!”
- “I was told I could take Kyiv in 3 days. I’ve been playing for 1,190 days and I’m still not even close to Kyiv.”
- “Why is my enemy using smart guided anti tank rockets and my soldiers are riding bicycles and wearing Adidas knock off sneakers into battle?”
Who knows? Maybe the Russian military is out of tactical ideas and trying to crowdsource a military strategy from gamers to take Ukraine because they can’t do it themselves.
“In a February 2022 blog post the dev team said they would release a new Kyiv map in 3 days, it hasn’t been mentioned ever since”
“Blatant land and money grab with impossible grind. Offers pay 2 win, but even pay 2 win doesn’t get you through the grind. I’m selling all the oil I can for in-game currency and it’s not even making a dent. Huge rip off”
Duh,just rocket jump all the way to Kiev. If you go fast enough no one will be able to stop you.
I mean, the US put out the game America’s Army as a recruitment tool.
Passably decent multiplayer shooter for its time. Good enough to kill some time with.
When I got captured I was treated better as a POW than when I was treated by Russia.
I don’t understand the goal of this game. Is it to loose as much friends as possible? Because that’s the only thing I’m good at.
This game is not realistic at all. I can’t even rape and torture anyone, like I did at the front lines.
How come there are modern weapons in this game but we have to use WW2 weapons in real life?
I could go on and on…
