Technology Tell writes, "I simply applaud Valve for recognizing that, as a sales market, they have the right to carry or not carry whatever they choose. Destructive Creations, the developers of Hatred, made a product, and Valve has exercised their free market option to not carry it. Good on Valve!"
In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.
Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway
This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.
So where is the outcry?

Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
The problem people have with it is that Valve does leave horrible, broken games to be sold on Steam, and they pull this despite the community wanting it. They are just afraid of bad publicity, and while they do have the right to pull the game from their store, you can ask yourself if it's good they decide what gamers can and can't play, especially with how inconsistent they are.
I always think it's a bad thing when a consumer has his/her choice taken away from them, and that's what Valve has done.
The community spoke, and they wanted the game. Valve removed it, all the while leaving some broken messes out there for consumers to buy.
If Valve is trying to look out for consumers, their efforts would be better spent pulling broken trash off of their store instead of a game that, while controversial, many obviously wanted to play.
Whatever your thoughts on the game might be, I would hope we could all stand up for our rights to buy what we want, no matter how distasteful the game might be (depending on your view of the game).
Valve has the freedom not to sell Hatred, the same way Hatred has the freedom to exist as a game.
Hatred is back on Steam Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/s...
hatred did nothing new that other games have done before it postal, gta,man hunt,punisher,mortal combat, to name a few all have come before hatred.
in the end its just a mindless shootem up game with what looks to be little to no story.
