    I don't think they remove military propaganda from Steam. Fascist military sims from fascist countries are specifically allowed.

            The last of America's Army games, see this steamdb page for screenshots. I tried it years ago and got a vibe of proto-insurgency, it's somewhat realistic, even the tutorial is decent, but as you can imagine they just wanted a good recruitment tool and this wasn't it.

              I played it back in like 2003. It was pretty fucking high class back then, when it came to realism. You could cook nades and decided whether you roll or toss them. You could also peek/lean. I believe it's kinda common nowadays, but those were some fancy things back then. CS wasn't even CS:GO back then, but like CS 1.5-1.6.

              I never played it through Steam though.

              Played on American servers and always had like 180 ping. Still managed to snipe decently.

              But even back then I understood it was obviously propaganda, because you're never allowed to play as "the bad guys". You're always an American, and you're shooting people vaguely Middle-Eastern enemies. From your POV, you'll rock an M16, but from your enemy's pov, you're using an AK47.

              I think if they hadn't tried forcing that bit, it might've seen more success.

              Pure propaganda, sure, but I enjoyed it as a kid.

                The mindblowing thing is that, if wikipedia doesn't lie, the same developers also made fucking Moonbase Alpha

                  Makes sense. The government probably didn't want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
