This article includes references to extreme sexual violence, please read on at your own discretion.

Valve has removed a Steam game which contained explicit sexual violence from sale in various countries, including the UK, following media attention. When No Mercy first came to our attention, Eurogamer contacted Valve for comment regarding the game's themes and graphic content, and asked why it had been allowed onto the PC storefront, but we did not hear back. Isaaman said the availability of games such as No Mercy on Steam was "utterly unacceptable", as it "sends a clear and distressing message: that violence against women is not only tolerable, but playable".
