The Russian-developed game "Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes" promotes Kremlin narratives and portrays the invading Russian army as "heroes." The Ukrainian gaming community is currently fighting to have this offensive content removed from the Steam store. We urge you to join the effort by reporting the game. How to help: Visit the game’s store page. Click on the flag icon (Report). Select "Defamatory" or "Legal Violation" in the form and submit your report. Suggested reasons for reporting: You may cite the following in your report: • Discrimination against Ukrainians and hate speech. • Propaganda of Russian fascism/imperialism. • Justification of the war of aggression against Ukraine. • Manipulation of historical facts and using gaming as a tool for state propaganda.

It either looks like an unfinished product description, or like a malware, disguised as a game.

Porfirio's Adventure (2016), it is clearly a company that is being pumped up by the Kremlin as a propaganda business, just take a look at their official advertisement (links to their youtube channel) to see the quality of the games when it is not being pumped full of cash from the Kremlin permalink embed save parent report reply [–] nontrollusername 28 points 29 points 30 points 10 hours ago (1 child) Probably malware why the hell this shitty game would require so much lol permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Traumerlein 14 points 15 points 16 points 7 hours ago (0 children) Gotta farm crypto now that oil money isnt cutting it anymore and the scrapyards gloriouse inexhoustbale stockpile of supirior sovjet equipment has been exhousted. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Unusual-Basket-6243 3 points 4 points 5 points 5 hours ago (0 children) It's so that Putin could play it too permalink embed save parent report reply [–] TheYearOfThe_Rat 0 points 1 point 2 points 3 hours ago (0 children) Doom 2 engine?

This will depend on your country, but for example in Poland this game may violate penal code (and even the constitution, but let’s leave that aside): Article 256 of the Polish Penal Code: “(…) explicitly prohibits the public promotion of Nazi, communist, or fascist ideology, or any ideology that incites violence to influence political or social life. The law also criminalizes the production, recording, importing, possessing, presenting, or transporting of materials that promote these ideologies (…)” Surely most of Europe has similar, specific laws against this - and Valve surely wants to comply with EU and national laws? permalink embed save report reply [–] Atanar 46 points 47 points 48 points 8 hours ago (0 children) § 131 StGB and § 130 in German law. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] schwarzerkugelblitz Austria 🇦🇹 32 points 33 points 34 points 7 hours ago (0 children) § 283 StGB "Verhetzung" Austrian law permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Sea-Celebration2429 1 point 2 points 3 points 3 hours ago (1 child) In Finland; freedom of expression protects even unpleasant or unpopular opinions . permalink embed save parent report reply [–] xTey Europe 🇪🇺 2 points 3 points 4 points 2 hours ago (0 children) promoting facist ideology is not an opinion permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Particular-Award5225 [ S ] 95 points 96 points 97 points 23 hours ago (0 children) https://players.com.ua/en/news/a-russian-propaganda-game-about-hostomel-has-appeared-on-steam/ permalink embed save report reply [–] vKessel 182 points 183 points 184 points 23 hours ago (2 children) Thank you!

Few people genuinely cared they made a Syria RTS game back in the day people just had a chuckle and some played it. People laughed a bit about the nature of the game being from a Russian / Assadist point of view and players were there just to play a game and they are also pretty short games it is really just not some huge spectacle you could even make propaganda out of. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Jongren 14 points 15 points 16 points 23 hours ago (0 children) Done permalink embed save report reply [–] Inside_Ad_7162 13 points 14 points 15 points 23 hours ago (0 children) Do it with pleasure permalink embed save report reply [–] UltraCynar 13 points 14 points 15 points 12 hours ago (0 children) Reported.

Isn't that allowed? I'm not saying it's not Russian propaganda, but that's 99% of war video games. permalink embed save report reply [–] Tridop 1 point 2 points 3 points 7 hours ago (1 child) Well yes, if you cut propaganda from war games I bet it would mean removing all of them. That's something most gamers don't see (the average gamer is quite illiterate, and let's stop at that). permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Scary-Reputation-575 0 points 1 point 2 points 7 hours ago (0 children) Exactly. And I don't know why some people downvote me, when I've said something obvious that anyone with a couple of brain cells would be able to perceive. Not to mention esportwashing, where video games (even those that are in principle devoid of any ideological baggage) serve state interests (usually rather shady states). permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Low-Masterpiece-522 0 points 1 point 2 points 8 hours ago (0 children) As much as I hate Russians for the war, I won’t report it because I won’t lower myself to something like Collective shout Karen level by trying to ban games I don’t like.

A few days ago I even saw threads larping at Turkey, Canada and Japan to enter the EU despite them not even being in Europe. To be clear, I agree with you that an EU subreddit should focus only on European Union countries. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] garry_the_commie -1 points 0 points 1 point 6 hours ago (0 children) I live in a EU country and don't like supporting US companies with the stuff I buy so that's why I'm here. permalink embed save parent report reply [+] [deleted] 11 hours ago (5 children) [removed] [–] Odd-Crazy-9056 3 points 4 points 5 points 10 hours ago (0 children) Why are you excluding anti-Asian games?

I think Russia doing the same with the US back then would have been "fine". As for the middle east, I do not recall any of these games promoting war against Muslims, although I'm not into war games to begin with. BUT no it isn't fine, and the only reason people probably didn't care if it happened, is because it happened far away from them, and that it couldn't hurt them, which is hypocrisy. It's also possible that people simply didn't mind and realize the propaganda back then, and that Arabs didn't have a strong spoke person to open the eyes of the people, but I'm talking out of my ass there, since I do not know. Unfortunately, people aren't perfect, and sometimes we just suck. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Tridop 1 point 2 points 3 points 7 hours ago (1 child) Sorry, when precisely the fucking USA was not involved in a war? I see a lot of hypocrisy and propaganda in you. There is plenty of games where you play as the Yank invader. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Only_Matter_2161 0 points 1 point 2 points 4 hours ago (0 children) I meant that games featuring the USA Vs Russian or USSR were done in a time where there wasn't an armed conflict between them. Which makes it more tolerable. As for the USA being warmonger and trying to pass for the good guys while fucking up everything they touch, it's nothing new. I do not think the games are responsible for people naively thinking they are the good guys tho but more the idea that democracies are always on the right side. I'm personally past the time where I see countries as good or bad, as opening a history book is enough to show that they all try the same bullshit when they possibly can. The two world wars ravaged Europe and left the USA as the big winner, for now. Also I'm not American, if there is hypocrisy in my words it goes to my attachment to freedom of speech and freedom for art. permalink embed save parent report reply [–] Thepcfd -4 points -3 points -2 points 4 hours ago (0 children) you should get out of the internet its not place for you permalink embed save report reply [+] Aggravating-Dot132 comment score below threshold -20 points -19 points -18 points 12 hours ago (2 children) Won't do anything though, since steam allows that kind of games.

That’s exactly what's happening rn. They’re trying to kill, evict Ukrainians from occupied land, and make a lot of propaganda about Ukrainian(language) not being popular or even not existing in Ukraine. permalink embed save report reply load more comments (3 replies) load more comments (45 replies) about blog about advertising careers help site rules Reddit help center reddiquette mod guidelines contact us apps & tools Reddit for iPhone Reddit for Android mobile website <3 reddit premium Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy . © 2026 reddit inc.
