Why are people so fascinated with the freedom to massacre as many innocents as possible? Perhaps people are playing it because Hatred was the topic of controversy?
I guess any publicity is good publicity rings true !
I mean it just came out so of course it will sell a lot because of all the publicity the game has gotten. I'm pretty sure that by next week the story will be different.
You know, at first when i saw the trailer i was disgusted at the way the civilians begged and grovel before you murder them, but after watching gameplay and hearing the cheesy one-liners i feel a lot less disturbed.
I even laughed a couple times.
I would like to play this now lol.
Well when you play it up as Satan incarnate and slap an AO rating on there, of course people are gonna be curious and buy it to see what all the fuss is about. Hell, you'd have ensured this mediocre game woulda just faded into obscurity had you forgone pandering to Outrage Culture and just ignored it.
Most people are buying this on GOG since its DRM free. That's why. Steam is all but 1 vendor.
