Turkish game removed from Steam due to “slander”
Maroon Berets, about a war between Turkey and Armenia: We portray a claret red soldier in 2030 and try to stop the Armenians’ ambitions on Turkey before they can be realized. We just made the news that the game, which is on a sensitive subject, will be released until today. However, we learned that the game was removed from Steam due to the reasons we wrote above, via an email that was said to be sent by the producer CRESCENT GAMES (which he sent via gmail).
When we checked his page, we saw that it was indeed removed. There are also some comments. On top of that, we did research to see how right Steam was in its claims. The game, which starts with the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia that took place last year, includes real events. However, with the fall of the Armenian Government, the subject changes and Turkey starts to focus on a future war between Armenia and Turkey.
We know that the subjects of the games often start with real events and continue with fiction. For this reason, it is debatable how accurate this censorship is applied to a fictional game. It is also stated at the beginning of the game that this is fiction. However, we can see that some tasks are really overdone. You can watch videos of the game on Youtube.
