Hi everyone. I just discovered a game on Steam called "Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes" (AppID: 3902520).
As someone living in Kyiv, I'm shocked. The game portrays the bloody attack on Hostomel - a place linked to documented war crimes in the Bucha district - from the aggressor's perspective, calling them "heroes."
This is a direct violation of Steam's Sensitive Events policy. Steam usually bans content that exploits real-world tragedies or active conflicts. However, Support is currently sending automated replies to reports.
We need to let Valve know that using their platform for war propaganda and the romanticization of modern-day atrocities is unacceptable.
I’ve already contacted Steam Support, but they are stalling.
Please, take a minute to report this product on its store page.
Select "Legal Violation" and mention it violates the Sensitive Events policy.
For example:
This product glorifies the Russian invasion of Ukraine by portraying the attack on Hostomel from the aggressor's perspective as "heroes." This violates Steam's "Sensitive Events" and "Hate Speech" policies. It uses symbols linked to war crimes in the Bucha district. Such content is illegal in Ukraine and several EU countries (justification of aggression). I request the immediate removal of this product for promoting violence, hatred, and war crimes.
