The Alienation in Gaming – Violent Little Thing
We’ve seen this problem before. It always sucks when a game you want to play isn’t on your preferred platform.
Apart from Nintendo, I can understand if this decision is related to budget, licensing, and lack of expertise, but none of these things are impossible to address and find a workaround for.
In the gaming industry today, platform exclusives are less frequent because most developers recognize that releasing your game on multiple platforms not only increases accessibility to your game but also revenue.
However, a line in the sand is drawn if developers just flat-out refuse to bring their games to multiple platforms for reasons other than the aforementioned is not only dumb but also tone-deaf.

Lately, YouTube has been recommending a lot of video game trailers to me. I’ve watched them and added the respective games to my Steam wishlist. Then I saw the trailer for Code Violet and was immediately drawn to its setting: badass female protagonist, dinosaurs, and a combination of action and stealth.
But then, I found out from a fellow blogger that the developers weren’t bringing the game to PC, so it’s no wonder it doesn’t have a Steam page. I did some digging and learned that their reasons behind the decision are completely absurd.
TeamKill Media has stated that they don’t want to bring their game to PC because they don’t want it “ruined” by the modding community with vulgar mods of the characters.
What in the actual name of fucking Azathoth? Firstly, that makes zero sense because looking at the game’s protagonist, she already looks stereotypically sexy, so why worry about that? (Good God, just take a look at some of the outfits she is wearing!)
Secondly, (I can’t believe I’m saying this because I despise 4chan since one of their rules stated that girls are not on the Internet… though I hope at this point it is irrelevant), I hate to break it to you, but rule 34 is everywhere. You literally will always find explicit fan art and other content from a video game anywhere. People do it because they want to. People are horny, and as long as they are not hurting anyone, how exactly does this ruin the game? How does it tarnish the reputation of the actors?
Maker, I hate it when these companies try to enforce fan behaviour in any shape or form.
Oh, and thirdly, how dare you label us PC gamers as nothing but vulgar modders! Not all of us are basement-dwelling incels making pornographic mods to make up for a lack of offline experience!
I may not mod many games myself, but at least I recognize the relevance of it in the community. Want to know why a game like Skyrim is still relevant today? The answer is: MODS. Even Bethesda recognized this, so when they released the special edition, they included a whole catalogue of approved mods for players to download.
Most of the modding I’ve seen in communities was often used to enhance game performance and accessibility. For example, I used a map mod in Subnautica. Some mods also offer more customization features, like more hairstyle options in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
The only time I have seen “vulgar” mods was for Resident Evil Village, one mod could make Karl Heisenberg shirtless, and something more explicit for Lady Dimitrescu. It certainly didn’t ruin the game or Capcom’s reputation.
So you see, modding is just one critical tool in the preservation of a game, as it keeps the community alive.
Look, I understand being protective over your work and wanting to protect, say, the people involved from sexual harassment and other forms of backlash. But, by choosing to exclude a large audience of gamers because you’re afraid of what they’ll do to the game, is not only disrespectful, but can feel like we are being falsely labelled as inferior to the industry.
Think about it logically, it’s like a car company stops manufacturing and selling a particular model just because a small group of people will choose to give it a custom paint job!
Why punish one of the largest gaming communities just because a small portion of them might mod the game in ways you disagree with? This form of creativity does not have a single theme, nor is it an attack on the original art.
If they were that concerned about mods, they could just add software that blocks mods, or do what Bethesda did and pre-approve of them.
By forfeiting the PC market because you are assuming that every PC gamer is going to wreck your game with vulgar mods is just tone-deaf as fuck. It makes us feel like we are all being punished just because only a small portion of us actually make mods like that.
Also, as I mentioned, the PC gaming community has the largest market, so this decision will result in fewer profits, which could be detrimental to the company, especially after their last game apparently flopped financially.
Plus, whether you like it or not, NSFW art for any franchise is everywhere; there’s no way to stop it. People like to do this kind of shit. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s okay if you do it, and it’s okay if you don’t, just like masturbating.
In conclusion, it’s disappointing that a cool game I saw is being run by a bunch of purists who are presuming the worst intent out of a very large and passionate gaming community that I happen to be part of. There is a chance that maybe once the game releases, the team will see they’re not making enough money and then change their minds, or the game will have too many issues and die.
Also, they won’t bring the game to Xbox consoles either because they “don’t have the manpower.” Jesus Christ, what a bunch of delusional purists, you know you can always hire people to help you with that, right? Look at other developers working under Sony, like Guerrilla; they have been working with Nixxes Software to bring their games to PC so that more players can enjoy them. See, there you go, I just solved one of your problems for you! I’m sure there are also people at Microsoft who can do the same thing! As for your concern about vulgar mods, well,l there’s not much you can do about it; it’s going to happen one way or another, so you might as well live and let live. If you have to stick up for your actors, then do it, but explicit mods… scratch that, any mods will not, repeat, NOT tarnish your game in any way.
Oh well, until something changes, I guess I’ll just steer clear of TeamKill Media. There will always be other dinosaur-related games I can look forward to playing, like Parkasaurus in my library and the highly anticipated Jurassic Park Survival, which also features a female protagonist and has a higher emphasis on stealth, like Alien: Isolation, but with dinosaurs.
