UK counter-terrorism unit demands Steam withdraw controversial shooter from sale
Valve has removed a game from its British Steam storefront following a request from the UK's counter-terrorism unit.
Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn't heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.
I'll buy it too. First time hearing of it

Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn't look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.
It's definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.
There's not really a distinction due to the CoD airport mission. They both are what they are.

Guess the demand has been met!
Streisand Effect in practice
I've been thinking of this game in the context of recent discussion about Steam's laissez-faire content moderation
Its so cringe to try and censor this.
