Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

An Article by Media Matters: Conspiracy monger Alex Jones (of Infowars) has been the subject of a recently released game that promotes him and his vile conspiracies, but also benefits him financially, although he claims to be bankrupt and refuses to pay damages to the people he harmed.

    It is probably more that you aren’t going to buy the game unless you are a fan of Alex Jones, and those people are going to be happy to pay for his shit.

      It just amazes me the amount that people shell out for this loud turd, between the survival buckets and the useless if not harmful supplements, there’s always more idiots willing to buy his shit, and this bastard always has a new revenue stream.
