Operation: Harsh DoorStop is a free tactical shooter on Steam, who as a competitor to First Person Shooters sees himself with a certain claim of realism like Battlefield. The creator’s demands on influencers seem rather unrealistic to many users.
What kind of game is that? Operation: Harsh Doorstop is a free tactical shooter that went to the early access on Steam on February 15, 2023. The idea behind the game is to play a kind of free alternative like Arma, but put it strongly on the community and put a big focus on mods.
For February 28, 2025, the largest update so far is planned to bring numerous features such as vehicles, construction and revival into play. In advance, the creator of the game, who appears under the name Bluedrake42, causes a stir with a warning to Content Creator who discuss the game.

Bluedrake42 warns Content Creator on X
The question of a user, which games he sees as his competition, answers Bluedrake42 with: “Squad, Delta Force, Battlefield, Arma. Every realistic/semi-realistic FPS. “
The developer also makes it clear that he is very happy to accept criticism, just not from people who, in his opinion, have a financial interest in seeing them fail.
How should content creators behave? In a video of February 11, 2025, Bluedrake42 explains that he is particularly concerned with content creator who compare his game with another without mentioning that you have a deal with this other game. He therefore suggests formulations such as:
“Hey, I recently signed a $ 40,000 contract with this other game, so I might be biased. But here are my honest first impressions. ”(Via X)
If it was the goal of the developer to avoid biased reviews of his game, the campaign should have had the opposite effect so far. On Steam, the reviews of Operation: Harsh Doorstep show a clear rash down: Of 44 reviews that were submitted on February 12, only 2 were positive.
In addition to operation: Harsh Doorstop has a number of other shooter releases ready, which you can look forward to. 10 of them we introduce you to MeinMMO: 10 new shooters, which are particularly interesting in 2025 – you should enter these releases in the calendar
