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.

      I think reviews from users who refunded aren’t counted in the overall score.

        They really should be… If you’re refunding because a game is shit then it makes sense to review it as such to warn others

        Too bad- if a game sucks and you return it, you should be score to thumbs down and write a review of why.
