Shitty "political" shovelware deserves the same respect as every other instance of shovelware on Steam. Everyone ignoring it.
It's not shovel ware, it's made by a victim of Israel.
That doesn't mean it can't ALSO be shovelware. It doesn't look very good but it seems like it's at least playable.
Basically. I didn't know that the developer was Palestinian, as 404 merely mentioned the developer currently resides in Brazil, but yeah the point still stands. You can have a solo developer make a good game around a good message, a bad game around a good message, or any combination in between.
Its why the discussion around this game mildly annoys me, as the asset flip nature of the game really gives a sour comparison to other more famous games with "controversial" scenes. No Russian, for example.
Ultimately, yes people should be equally able to put out a bad game that tries to tell the story of Hamas as they are to put out CoD.
