New 'Rape and Incest' Game Tests the Limits of Steam’s Sex Policy

For the last week, several news outlets have published shocking headlines about a game called No Mercy on Steam that features incest and “rape.”

In the UK, Peter Kyle, a member of Parliament and the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology described the game as “deeply worrying” and demanded Valve, which operates the PC’s leading digital game store Steam, take it down. The Sydney Morning Herald called it a “Rape game available online for Australian Children.” Two organizations, Women in Games and Collective Shout, called on Valve to remove the game.
