Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

    Piracy and possible donating to the game studio is the morally correct choice.

      So here’s the problem with piracy as a protest… It doesn’t cost the publisher anything. Which has always been kind of the point of piracy.

      Unfortunately when you pirate this game you receive an item of negative value, so I would recommend just staying away from the whole thing.

        That’s why I said possibly. They could have just been contractors, but now it seems they are an inhouse production.

      The game studio only has one game…

        Let’s hope it stays that way.
