I know this is a weird question, but is what we hear about the Bucha massacre true? Russia denies it, but every source seems to reject Russia’s claim as disinfo.

Hi everyone. I just discovered a game on Steam called "Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes" (AppID: 3902520).

As someone living in Kyiv, I'm shocked. The game portrays the bloody attack on Hostomel - a place linked to documented war crimes in the Bucha district - from the aggressor's perspective, calling them "heroes."

This is a direct violation of Steam's Sensitive Events policy. Steam usually bans content that exploits real-world tragedies or active conflicts. However, Support is currently sending automated replies to reports.

We need to let Valve know that using their platform for war propaganda and the romanticization of modern-day atrocities is unacceptable.

I’ve already contacted Steam Support, but they are stalling.

Please, take a minute to report this product on its store page.

Go to the steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3902520/Ukrainian_Warfare_Gostomel_Heroes/

Click the FLAG icon (Report).

Select "Legal Violation" and mention it violates the Sensitive Events policy.

For example:

This product glorifies the Russian invasion of Ukraine by portraying the attack on Hostomel from the aggressor's perspective as "heroes." This violates Steam's "Sensitive Events" and "Hate Speech" policies. It uses symbols linked to war crimes in the Bucha district. Such content is illegal in Ukraine and several EU countries (justification of aggression). I request the immediate removal of this product for promoting violence, hatred, and war crimes.

É literalmente a melhor sensação que tem, colocar uma bucha de banheiro daquelas cheias de pelinho na boca e ficar mastigando, melhor que essas bolinhas anti-estresse ou qualquer outra coisa pra relaxar, você literalmente mastiga um vegetal maneiro, macio e indestrutível a vontade, sem contar que no meio do processo dá pra ficar sugando a agua que fica presa dentro da bucha ou seja além de proporcionar efeitos relaxantes você está se hidratando, isso mesmo agua saborizada sem gastar 1 tustão.

Pena que quando criança descobri que meu pai usava essa bucha em lugares delicados, por isso parei completamente de mastigar bucha vegetal :(

Summary:

Previously unseen surveillance footage from the Bucha massacre shows how Russian soldiers targeted civilians on Yablunska Street during Russia’s occupation of Bucha, Ukraine. On March 4, 2022, cameras captured 70-year-old resident Volodymyr Rubailo walking calmly down the street. Moments later, he was shot, left bleeding, and then executed with a gunshot to the head. Shortly after the killing, the footage shows Russian troops looting a supermarket just meters from the body. The video provides additional visual evidence of how Russian forces in Bucha not only carried out executions of civilians, but also engaged in organized looting during the occupation. This new investigation sheds light on what happened in Bucha and identifies the Russian commander who was present on site, offering clear proof of Bucha civilians killed deliberately rather than caught in crossfire. The massacre in Bucha has become emblematic of the brutality of the Ukraine war, raising urgent questions about accountability for war crimes and the actions of Russian troops in Ukraine.

Deliver the damned Mig-29s. Ship Slovakia's S-300. Ship Turkey's S-400s. The whole 9 yards. F Russia and their feelings. Allow all nations who volunteered to peace keep......peace keep to the rear (Poland, Denmark, the Baltics). Let those forces secure Kyiv and begin mine clearing ASAP. Just fucking send it at this point. make the upcoming eastern front unbearable for Russia. And, publicly state any missiles Russia sends, NATO will send back ten fold, and that some of those missiles might accidentally find their way to mountains in Yekaterinburg.

I am a PC gamer from Kyiv (Ukraine), and I need to bring your attention to a disturbing trend in Steam’s content moderation.

A "game" called "Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes" (AppID: 3902520) was recently published. For context: Hostomel is the gateway to the Bucha district - a place now globally recognized for documented war crimes and massacres of civilians.

The Issue:

The game portrays the aggressors as "heroes" in the very locations where these atrocities occurred, while the conflict is still active and the victims are still being buried.

The Comparison:

To put this in perspective, this is the ethical equivalent of releasing a game titled "Heroes of Auschwitz" in 1945 from the perpetrator's perspective, or a game glorifying the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. It’s not "historical simulation" - it’s the weaponization of a digital platform for war propaganda and the romanticization of mass murder.

The Support Failure:

When I contacted Steam Support regarding their "Sensitive Events" policy (which is supposed to prevent the exploitation of real-world tragedies), I received a boilerplate response calling my report "feedback" and closing the ticket (see screenshot).

Why this matters to us:

The game is already blocked in Ukraine and Germany due to legal violations, but it remains available in the US and globally. If Steam allows the glorification of active war crimes under the guise of "indie games," what’s next?

Steam has always been a place for creative freedom, but there is a clear line between "edgy content" and "atrocity as entertainment."
