The multiplayer FPS was out of the store for several days, but the reason is unrelated to any added violent content.
A few days ago was quite commented the withdrawal on Steam of Ready or Not, a few days after adding a new level where you had to clear a nightclub of enemies after a massacre happened. Now, this intense multiplayer shooter is back in Valve’s store and, according to its managers, the reason for its temporary blocking in the store has little to do with any violent content.
Through a statement on Twitter, Void Interactive explains that they received. a claim of trademark infringement. in its aforementioned most recent update. Once the problem was located, the New Zealand team went into action and removed the material in question, both from the video game and promotional images. “We take intellectual property concerns very seriously.”
Thus, it is confirmed that the removal from Steam was for its latest update, but not for the reasons discussed about a possible lack of sensitivity of those responsible for launching on June 12, in the anniversary of the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando where 49 people died, a map where the players, precisely, had to act against the criminals of a nightclub.
In December last year it was reported the end of the relationship of Team17 and VOID Interactive shortly after hinting at a mission in a school for the shooter with SWAT. The video game is in early access and was a success in its first days on sale. It currently has peaks close to 4,000 users on Steam, awaiting new content or the release of a 1.0 version.
