Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

An Article by Media Matters: Conspiracy monger Alex Jones (of Infowars) has been the subject of a recently released game that promotes him and his vile conspiracies, but also benefits him financially, although he claims to be bankrupt and refuses to pay damages to the people he harmed.

    Gotta give credit where it’s due. This game actually looks well made.

      Meh. It looks “ok” I guess. I don’t see the appeal if you’re not into Alex Jones tbh, you can get far better for less money on steam (even ignoring any sales).

      I admit I’m kinda surprised to see that it’s apparently not a complete ripoff
