Summary
Centre for Countering Disinformation in Ukraine claims new Steam game Squad 22: ZOV is propaganda for the Russian military.
Game is officially endorsed by the Russian Military and is reportedly being used as a training tool.
Developers SPN Studio have relished the controversy and seemingly support Russia’s war efforts.
Valve is yet to comment on the game that has reportedly passed its moderation processes.
Many other titles endorsed by military organisations are available on Steam including games backed by the US Army.
This news comes shortly after the game’s developers had to deny allegations that the game was using captured Ukrainian soldier footage.
On a related note, the developers of the game Ukraine Strike published a open letter denying Russian state-media claims that it was fake and abandoned.
