The truth is that 99.99% of these morons commenting about it online have never even played No Mercy. Same goes for the organizations trying to "fight" it - they've never played it either. And those politicians making all that noise? They've definitely never played No Mercy.
This game barely contains any violence at all, and the "rape" content is more about blackmail than using force, but how could they know that since they've never actually played the game xD
But honestly, it wouldn't make any difference because once something gets publicity and some random "Karen" who never watches porn hears about any fetish content, she completely loses it. If someone told her to freak out about people being murdered in GTA, she'd be screaming about that too.
This whole Steam battle was pointless because politicians are just as clueless and don't understand a thing. They just parrot whatever they're told while trying to get in the spotlight, so the game was going to disappear from Steam sooner or later. They don't understand how the internet works either, or that these organizations actually did 10,000 times more harm by drawing kids' attention to it - they're the reason it's now all over TikTok and Instagram with zero age verification.
Development on No Mercy hasn't stopped. More updates are coming.
And honestly, I'd recommend every adult game developer to slightly tweak their game description and anonymously report themselves to these organizations. It's free advertising - these people are too stupid to ever figure that out.
The whole controversy was because of the game's description. It was really dark because it was designed to grab attention. But it barely related to what you actually did in the game
