Controversial Game Removed from Steam in UK, Australia, and Canada After Outcry

The removal of 'No Mercy' follows widespread condemnation for its explicit content promoting sexual violence and weak age verification controls.

'No Mercy,' a Steam game featuring graphic sexual violence, incest, and non-consensual acts, has been removed from sale in the UK, Australia, and Canada.
Advocacy groups, including Women in Games, and officials like UK technology secretary Peter Kyle condemned the game for promoting misogyny and sexual assault.
The game's availability on Steam raised concerns over the platform's insufficient age verification measures, which could expose minors to harmful content.
Valve Corporation, owner of Steam, faces renewed scrutiny over its content moderation policies, which have been criticized in past controversies involving similar games.
The incident has reignited debates about the responsibilities of digital platforms in regulating extreme content and protecting vulnerable audiences.
