Alex Jones Released a Cringeworthy Video Game and NO ONE Is Playing it

Tuesday, I wrote about Alex Jones getting his a$$ handed to him by families of the beautiful young lives who were snuffed out in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December of 2012. An entire classroom of first-graders who were just making their way out into the world — plus several adult employees of the school — lost their lives in the horrific shooting

Imagine, just for a moment, how terrified those children, those adults must have been. Practically as soon as the shooting ended, Jones was screaming about this being a “false flag” a “hoax” for absolutely no reason whatsoever. He has even caused the parents of these children additional grief by confronting them and screaming in their faces.

So yesterday, the families of the Sandy Hook victims voted unanimously in favor of a plan that concludes Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings by liquidating the right-wing looney tunes talk show host’s assets.

And Jones, perhaps in an effort to offset the staggering $1.5 billion he owes the families in the defamation case, released a creepy video game, Alex Jones: NWO Wars, a month or so ago. The game has bombed popularity-wise, with an average of only eight people playing it daily. Pink News reports.

The Steam player count analytics website Steam Charts, using data collected from Steam itself, reports that the 2D shoot-’em-up, which Jones describes as the “ultimate retro nostalgia throwback game” saw poor player counts right from the beginning when it hit the PC marketplace in January. Figures show the game, at its highest point, attracted 34 concurrent players. I know next-to-nothing about Steam this-and-that because I don’t play video games, so I’m just going by what I read.

Another data analysis website, SteamDB listed an all-time peak of 115 people playing concurrently on January 5. But a batch of other games released in the same month have dwarfed these stats. Among them, one game, Beer Factory, attracted 2,248 players, SteamDB reports. According to Pink News, which listed four separate player trackers, the game is believed to have only sold between 9,000 and 38,000 on Steam. The game’s community hub has at least 4,700 followers.

Jones’s extremist-themed game has a “very positive” rating on Steam, so far, with 1248 total reviews, mostly from the fringe right-wing conspiracy freaks, who are followers of the right-wing hardliner nutjob. Hey, sorry, but I call it like I see it. Because that’s what these people are. Jones’s game includes a zombie version of Hillary Clinton, a “Nazi dragon” George Soros, and includes such nonsense as “Every day the deep state sues, lies, defames and kills law-abiding patriots who threaten their power,” which you can find on the game’s website, showing a screenshot of the game in which Jones fights a skeleton alongside Donald Trump.

As you might expect, reviews on Steam are from the lunatic Jones fringe.

“The [World Economic Forum] and globalists will fail. Humanity will rise,” one of the reviewers wrote, referring to one of Jones’ conspiracy theories, that he loves to use to attack marginalized groups.

“I heard MSNBC was trying to get the game removed from Steam so I bought it and enjoyed it,” another said. “Screw the legacy MSM (mainstream media), the WEF and all the globalist parasites.”

The game costs $17.76 (haha), and it can be completed in 40 minutes or less, and apparently, that makes it eligible for Steam’s refund policy. The policy allows users to claim their money back on games that can be completed in less than two hours. It’s good to know this, since the game doesn’t sound like it’s worth anyone blowing their money on. And that seemed to be the opinion of one reviewer, who definitely wasn’t impressed.

“Honestly, not worth the money,” a less-charitable reviewer wrote. “The game is very short, having only five levels and no other content. I was able to complete the campaign twice in under two hours.”

So if Jones is hoping to use the game’s profits to offset the whopping damages he has been ordered to pay the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, which he claimed was a “hoax” and a staged “false flag” operation where no one died, he is going to be sorely disappointed and have to cough up the funds elsewhere. Though this may be little comfort to the families of the 26 people who died, including 20 students between the ages of six and seven, Jones finally admitted the mass shooting was “100 percent real.”

Here’s one last aside from Pink News:

“The anti-LGBTQ+ pundit also blamed the 2016 Pulse massacre in Orlando – which left 49 people dead and scores more injured – on the queer community, which he has called a ‘cult.’”

Can we just admit that this creep is just plain scum? He’s almost a bigger dirtbag than Trump, and that’s saying a lot.
