Hatred is an isometric shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Destructive Creations that was released on June 1, 2015, for Microsoft Windows. The player character is a misanthropic mass-killer referred to as "The Antagonist" or "Not Important", who begins a "genocide crusade" to kill as many human beings as possible. The developer described Hatred as a reaction to video game aesthetic trends such as political correctness, politeness, vivid color, and video games as art. Its October 2014 announcement trailer was characterized as "controversial" by multiple video game journalists. The game was shortly removed by Valve from their Steam Greenlight service due to its extremely violent content but was later brought back with a personal apology from Gabe Newell. It was greenlit for a second time on December 29, 2014, and released on June 1, 2015.
