Skaldic Games are claiming that the game was not intended to encourage hatred or violence towards LGBTI people but to protest political correctness in the gaming industry by making the ‘most overly offensive game possible to these idiots to prove a point.’
‘As for an apology - ain’t gonna happen,’ Skaldic Games wrote in a statement in response to their game being pulled from Steam.
