ESA statement on Valve’s decision not to launch controversial title

“We applaud Valve for pulling this tasteless game that so heinously exploits recent national horrors. It’s the right call. ESA and its members take its responsibilities seriously, as illustrated in its support of the ESRB rating system and broad compliance with strict industry marketing guidelines. Valve’s decision reinforces the importance of taking responsible actions and being respectful of its consumers.” – Entertainment Software Association, May 29, 2018
