In recent years, the number of offensive games are on the rise. Many games contain content that may be seen as offensive by certain people for numerous different reasons, however, many games now exist only to 'trigger' people and provoke a reaction. They then ride of this popularity to gain sales. On such recent case of this has been 'Active shooter', a game that prides its self as letting the player "be a good guy or a bad guy". What this essentially means is that its a game that encourages the player to shooting up a (virtual) school. It justifies this by claiming that it allows the player to 'choose' to be the school shooter. Many have flocked to the game to defend it from those who have any kind of objection towards it. They claim that these people are trying to have the game censored and that removing the game would be a violation of free speech.
The truly disgusting part about these games is that they trivialise horrific real life events to make a quick buck. 'Active Shooter' was made shortly after a school shooting in America to raise controversy while the awful occurrence was still fresh in the minds of the world. There have been many more examples since of these kinds of games, prompting game sites and sellers to curate what they have closely to avoid these blemishes from surfacing. 'Active Shooter' was up for around a full week before it was finally disposed of by Valve.
We encourage the reader to not give these games any attention other than reporting them as they are only exploiting atrocities for money.
On a more cheery note, stay tuned for the nearly complete new technology soon to be featured on henstargames. Have a great day!
