Good news you maniacs, Hatred the weirdly controversial game is now in Beta for Linux. You need a password, but we have the scoop for you.

QuoteIf you are owner of Hatred you can try it now, but you'll need to switch Hatred branches on the Steam:
1) Click on Hatred in the Steam games library
2) Select properties
3) Go to Betas, paste there "beat7624Hatred1"
4) Click CHECK CODE
5) Then at "Select the beta you would like to opt into" combobox select "beta build for testers"
6) Click CLOSE and restart Steam

But be aware, you may lose game progress or something, this version may contain countless issues from crashes to performance drops, yep it is in beta stage and I'm working on linux version in my free time.
If you find issue, please post info about it here: http://forums.hatredgame.com/viewforum.php?f=10

About the game (Official)
Hatred fills your whole body. You’re sick and tired of humanity’s worthless existence. The only thing that matters is your gun and the pure Armageddon that you want to unleash.

You will go out for a hunt, and you will clear the New York outskirts of all humans with cold blood. You will shoot, you will hurt, you will kill, and you will die. There are no rules, there is no compassion, no mercy, no point in going back. You are the lord of life and death now - and you have full control over the lives of worthless human scum.

You will also run, you will need to think, you will need to hide and fight back when armed forces come to take you down. You will have no mercy for them, because they dare to stand in your way.

Only brutality and destruction can cleanse this land. Only a killing spree will make you die spectacularly and go to hell. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: reaVerCan we please not brand this game as controversial? I don't think we should be sending the developers the hint that we're (in any way related) to feminists.
WTF? The controversy surrounding this game has very little to do with gender equality. And please don't troll. GOL tends to quickly close any thread that devolves into a flamefest, and you very well know this topic is very efficient at lighting the spark.

From what I see from the videos I kind of like it. I'll put it in my wishlist.

I didn't say it had to do with gender equality. It has to do with the publishers' incentive to release games on our platform. Branding games with titles such as "controversial" that the 'mainstream' media are doing are NOT a welcome invitation.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if, thanks to this beta, the Linux version ended up as less buggy than the Windows one?

Quoteblack and white look with some colors like police sirens and fire are nice touch though.

From everything I've seen of the game, that's the one thing they really did right.

Why shouldn't we call it controversial? Being controversial is the whole point of the game and all its marketing. If it wasn't controversial, nobody would have bought it to start with. As it is, an awful lot of the sales were driven by a desire to "stick it to the SJW's", most of whom had already basically shrugged their shoulders and walked away once it released and turned out to be a hot mess. The suckers still buy it though, thinking it'll piss somebody off.

Seriously, why would someone release this game at all if they were scared of being called "controversial"?

Very true. Which is why my basic reaction to articles about this game has been, "Yawn. Don't care."

Because by doing so you run the risk of sending the wrong signals to game developers. Game developers, especially those from Japan, can get the wrong vibe from these kinds of things. Mika's buttslap has been taken out of her super animation in SF5 and DOAX3 is not being released in US/EU at all because these companies fear a backlash. And there's plenty of other examples where companies AVOID US/EU. The situation in the mainstream is currently this bad, companies check out with "cannot be bothered". But if we keep our best foot forward here, we may still be able to make the case that our platform can still be profitable and not fall within the media's grasp.

We should be displaying that we're using Linux because that is the sensible thing to do. It is cheap, fast, reliable, name it. I mean, you won't find an experienced Linux user complaining about Linux as an OS; that is something. We cannot risk sending the vibe that we're doing this because we're fanatical zealots. And being sensible also means that while games may have controversial storylines, games themselves are just games.

Quoting: kibblesAnd ignore all the people above playing this game that need to state just how above playing this game they are. God you sanctimonious puritans invade literally everything...
So you're . . . posting just to state how above, being above playing the game, you are? God you sanctimonious "Everyone must be pseudo-edgy" types invade figuratively everything . . .
