Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

    What a dirtbag. I just had to explain to someone younger what that “infowars” sticker on someone’s car means.

    The TL;DR version is: “avoid that person”.

      Despite my usual attitude towards free speech, I will put in the effort to peel an “Infowars” sticker off of a pole if it looks like easy prey.

      Fuck Alex Jones and all the conspiracist bullshit he stands for
