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.
The FPS/TPS Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque- which describes itself as "address[ing] the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective" - was removed when Steam contacted developer Nidal Nijm to inform him it had "received a request from authorities in the UK to block the game and have applied such country restrictions". In an email to the Brazillian developer, Steam allegedly said: "We've received a request from authorities in the UK to block the game and have applied such country restrictions". "The region lock of my game in the UK was clearly due to political reasons," Nijm wrote in a statement to the same publication.
