The game Rape Day surfaced last week from developer Desk Plant, and after Valve came under fire for allowing it to appear on Steam in the first place, it was swiftly removed and Valve issued a statement in which they revealed it will not be distributed on their platform.
The conversation hasn't ended there though, as Scottish MP Hannah Bardell has drawn attention to the game, calling for a government review into this kind of content.
GamesIndustry.biz reports that Bardell said the government must "commit to getting around the table and sorting this issue for good" and that "it's time for the UK government to undertake a full review into how tech companies and gaming platforms - specifically Steam - are able to get away with this kind of stupidity."
"The culture to seek forgiveness rather than permission is a stain on an industry that otherwise has the potential to be a real force for good," she adds.
Bardell later tweeted a video on the matter in which she raises the issue with her peers, saying that this material shouldn't be allowed on any platforms, something that the Rape Crisis Scotland Twitter account echoes when it adds:
"If games of this kind aren't against the law then they should be."
"We have to ask ourselves what kind of society we want to live in. Games like this cannot be tolerated in any society that values fairness and equality. This normalisation of rape is incompatible with a society where women and girls can live free from fear and violence."
Shona Robison, First Minister of the Scottish Parliament, said: "For any online gaming platform to allow the publishing of a so-called game, which glorifies the killing and raping of women, would be disgusting and deeply offensive."
Robison also calls for the UK government to "strengthen the legislation around this area."
How can this sort of content be tackled in the future?
