A game like this exists for one reason and one reason only, to raise the profile of the studio that made it.
The press around the world went a bit mad whenever call of duty MW:2 had a level where you gunned down civilians imagine what they'll say when this hits the shelves. Personally I don't think there is any justifiable reason for that level of violence in a videogame.

violence for the sake of violence ..and using a stereotype as mc *sigh* *This is what happens when the bottom of the barrel is finally reached*
at least manhunt(and other ) have plot ..or justified violence ..here is just for the lulz. personally, i dislike the excess violence as a "way" to satisfied my bloodthirst (...but this is my own moral speaking..i certainly enjoy other games where you can kill or you have the chance/you can choose to do this type of things )...but i can see a lot of persons buying this . but, the ones who are really going to enjoy this game are the politician...they are going to use this game to control/blame the video game industry for the violence in children's/society (more if we take in consideration the actual issues in the word, gamer world "bs" and others.) oh well...the studio want publicity, they got it,...we cant blame/hate this game for the content , because its "art", okay... ..but this can backfire ...and karma is a bi*ch

I think the attention the game is getting isn't because it contains violence but rather because its so graphic and that there is no real justification for it, other than the main character wanting to kill.
In GTA is the sole aim of the game to execute innocent civilians by stuffing a gun in their mouth as they cower in terror ? Thats the difference.

That's why I compared it to Carmageddon. Running laps just sucked because the controls were too sensible and the concurrents & the cops ALWAYS ruined your shit. Now wrecking your opponents until you are the last guy standing or killing ALL pedestrans were highly encouraged, not to mention easier.

There is no comparison to carmageddon either, for a number of reasons.
Firstly running over pedestrians wasn't the main aim of the game, racing was. Second it was censored in a lot of countries and the pedestrians were replaced by green blooded zombies (my copy was like this). Lastly it was a game made in the 90's and lets be honest the pedestrians looked like pixelated stick-men so its hardly comparable to the graphic violence of hatred.

Hatred, Yanked From Steam Just Yesterday, Is Already Back
First the removed it from Steam Greenlight, now they put it back. Interestingly, before the game was removed from Steam Greenlight, there was a large number of votes for the game to be available on Steam.

Apparently it was removed from Steam because of someone probably reacting to controversy when he probably shouldn't have since Steam pretty much is supposed to be just a tool and not take sides on this kind of stuff. I saw Gaben sent an apology to the devs too saying it shouldn't have been removed. There's upsides and downsides to Valve's weird company policies of letting the employees be really independent.
