UK counter-terrorism unit demands Steam withdraw controversial shooter from sale
Valve has removed a game from its British Steam storefront following a request from the UK's counter-terrorism unit.
Its so cringe to try and censor this.
Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn't heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.
I'll buy it too. First time hearing of it

Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn't look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.
It's definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.
There's not really a distinction due to the CoD airport mission. They both are what they are.
