MR DONALD changes
During review, Steam raised some questions about our content. Some of them we see as debatable or borderline, but rather than try to prove a point, we just fixed everything: updated the build, reworked the characters, gave them "censored" masks, and changed the trailer and the store page. We weren't able to comment sooner because we were dealing with extremely tight deadlines and little in the way of specifics.
Right now the Steam team is re-reviewing the build, the conversation has been constructive, and we appreciate that. We were never looking to go to war with VALVE. The main goal is to find common ground and close out all the open questions, and that's where things are headed.
A reminder of what the game is actually about: MR DONALD is a satire on the modern sterility of the gaming industry and its unfair corporate culture, about everything that's piled up in this industry over the past ten years. All characters are fictional. People get that and see it, otherwise we wouldn't have racked up 9,000 positive reviews and taken second place in the audience vote.
The goal stays the same: save gamedev.
