So? I still don't see any reason to think it was originally created as a parody.
I mean they explicitly said it was not intended to be artsy in any way.

Well it looks like a parody, a bad one at that. Trying to take Hatred seriously puts me in stitches, so it either was never meant to be serious, or is so serious it became a joke of itself.
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
It's not serious, but it's also not a joke. There is so little there that it's really hard for it to be anything. It could be kind of neat in that respect. (Think it's hard to make something, try making nothing.)
This really begs the question of why we are here. Dose anyone really care about this game, or is there maybe another reason?

It was just a game that they made. They even said that it wasn't to be taken too seriously. But personally I think now people will use it as ammo for reasons why games are bad for people and society.

I think people use it as a way to call back to a time when games really were under attack in order to kind of relive the glory days or to re-frame a debate into something that it's not. Hatred isn't GTA. This isn't the 1990s and jack thompson isn't around anymore. That's over. It's time to move on.

It would be unfair to proper parody games to label this one as such. It isn't even trying to be a parody, like say, Postal 2, which was trying way too hard to be both edgy and "funny". If anything, they're trying to sound like Tommy Wiseau, however unlike the Room, it's got no redeeming qualities.
I wonder what the devs will try to pass if off as next? Maybe a social experiment, to see how people would react to their little "project" when advertised as something evul[sic].
"God it's like you just use words you hear randomly to try to sound smarter."
Yeah that's about right. Seriously why are so many people assuming competence?

To be honest the game to me still after playing it feels like one of those fake games from law and order SVU. Its pretty terrible in terms of name and is pretty dumb.
Overall I hope my article I wrote for you all was well written and filled with as many sources as I could find. It took me a few days to compile the sources. Glad I am not the only who was not at all disturbed by this game.

"I wish this thread had gone off topic but it didn't so I'm going to talk about how it could have gone off topic and this makes it look like, even if it wasn't intended, I want it to head down that path because I am just that keen about following the rules of the site."
Next time, if that's all you have to contribute, don't
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...
You know the funny thing about hatred is that there didn't seem to be much direct controversy about the game. It seemed more controversy about controversy. Like I many many people arguing that the game wasn't controversial and no one arguing that it was. Basically people just shrugged their shoulders and said have fun, but don't involve us.

It will soon I bet. Someone will blame the game soon. Concerned parents and a shooting will all point to hatred being the cause.
It happens every single time. Maybe not now, but it will happen.
History repeats itself.

Meh. That would required a guy doing a shooting while having played this game before.

i remember when posta;..the jfk shooter and i believe somewhere along the line there was a WW2 game where you could participate in the holocaust...companys make games that are just shocking and aimed to disgust the public because they know people will flock to buy it

Wait wtf?
Are you new to the internet?
Sadly, games, cartoons, even live action movies.
