Christian developer creates “Kill the Faggot” video game

Game developer Valve’s “Greenlight” project — in which developers can, for a $100 fee, make their work available through the popular Steam downloadable store — is coming under fire for failing to stop the game “Kill the Faggot” from launching, Ars Technica’s Sam Machkovech reports.

On its face, the game clearly violates Steam’s terms of service, which prohibit “[t]hreats of violence or harassment, even as a joke.” The game was designed by a self-styled “Christian shoe promoter” from California named Randall Herman, and in it players are encouraged to shoot homosexuals.

They are rewarded for every homosexual they kill, and penalized for any straight person they accidentally clip. The homosexuals can be identified not only by their caricatured attire, but by what they say as they cross the screen, including “Can I put my wiener in your butt?” and “I just dropped the soap!”
