Yes, it's an absolutely awful piece of distasteful drivel.

So what?

If we restrict the creative work and will of directors based on content, then we're really no better than the video game critics who have been arguing for years about the lack of value of the medium, and the need for tighter restrictions. Not being allowed to make a game like this is not functionally different from not being allowed to sell a game like this.

When we accept this media and push it forward, we have to understand that we are going to get distasteful crap. Books, movies, music, opera... There are examples of similar works in all of them. We're not going to get away from that.

Our role, as consumers, is to not buy the bad products, and express to the producers why we are not buying it so that they can consider it when making future products. That's all.
Nice, well said.

No, you can't call for games like Hatred to stop being made. If anything, they'll get made all the more.

But the thing is, once you single out one type of content that a creator is not allowed to create, you open the floodgates for suppression of basically anything a power-hungry asshole wants to silence.

The old saying goes, "You have to accept the good with the bad."
