The Ukrainian Center, which is run by the government to resist misinformation, issued a warning about the new free shooter to play, Team 22: Zouf, who says it is a harmful propaganda tool for the Russian army, which in fact “myths”, the country’s invasion and bombing actually on an equal footing with Samentand Saperen vapor. The valve has not yet attached.
Division 22: Zouf is certainly not afraid of his affiliations. According to the Steam page, it is “designed with visions of old warriors and active soldiers” and “officially recommended the Russian army to use it as a basic guide to infantry training for trainees and Yunarmy training” – a short Yunarmi in the movement of the young national army students in Russia.
On the official website, it is also described as “developed with the support of information by the main military and political directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.” SPN Studio is citing many military consultants, including a murderer in the “SMO region” between 2014 and 2024 – SMO is an abbreviation in the “Special Military Operation”, which is the gentle little Safeword in the Putin system for their deviant and stupid invasion, which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths on both sides.
The developers responded to accusations that they were disabled for the Russian army on Xter. They seem to enjoy a negative reaction, describe it as “free marketing” and calls on people to “put our team on Mirotvorets”, an online warehouse “Ukraine’s enemies” established by Ukrainian politician Georgy Toka in 2014. They also spread a little to support the Russian attack. For Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski, that Ukraine has no plans to surrender to Russia, developers comment well: “Meaning, we will have a lot of content to perform more tasks in our game.”
All this makes me wonder what the Valve policy is exactly towards state -backed advertising games on Steam, which there are more than a few of them. According to the Twitter developer, the 22nd team passed: Zov passed the mild steam on May 15. Despite everything that boasts the Russian championship on social media, the creators in the game are set a shy situation on the Steam page, and he promised only to “go into the complications of the events of 2014 and 2022-2024” and “gain an insight into the views of those who lived in these periods, and understand how these events formed their lives and opinions.” I wonder, at all, they had to adjust this formulation to satisfy Valve’s supervisors.
Valve explicitly prohibits the propaganda sponsored by the state on the Steamworks page, although it prohibits hate speech, “defamatory or defamatory data”, “the content that violates the laws of any judicial jurisdiction is available”, and “content that is offensive or intended to shock or courage.” If they banned the games that were explicitly submitted to the interests of the national armies, they are supposed to have registered the page for the US military: prove the official FPS causes of the American army, they have lived on Steam since 2015 – and perhaps Plantemi Special Warrior, which is the 2004 tactic game that describes the US military as “the power of the most powerful land in the whole world” as life has begun in the field of training Military.
I do these recent comparisons not for some of the argument that each side is like a bad side – among the other hair that we may divide, and not the full spectrum warrior or the American army: the causes were explicitly identified in a continuous war, with the selection of Morner games. Team 22: Zouf is a real work, but it is far from anomaly.
I have sent an email to Valve to comment and I will update this piece when I receive one. Meanwhile, you may want to play the Hollow Home, the Ukrainian RPG on the MARIUPOL occupation, check the last Remaster Frogware of the sunken city, or to get browsing from the winning entries in the Coup Ukraine competition last week. Thanks to Informer Game to pass this.
