Steam: Another Day, Another Re-Uploaded Banned Game

Because quality control is for nerds.

It must be a day ending in Y because another banned Steam title has gracefully returned to the store with seemingly no notice by Valve. Earlier this year I talked about a game called Aka Time VR which I dubbed “Avengers: Age of Infringement.” It was a shady Chinese VR title that shamelessly advertised itself on stolen Marvel characters and horrible gameplay. Take it away, me.

Right now I want to talk about Aka Time VR, a game with all the energy of an Ambien commercial and all of the shame of a Digital Homicide reunion at the Arizona Mongolian Buffet.

What brought Aka Time VR to my attention wasn’t that it was terrible, but that it was terrible and had a lot of positive reviews. Positive reviews from dubious Steam accounts. Not too long after I wrote my piece Aka Time VR was banned from the Steam store.

Aka Time VR is back in the form of Aka Blade VR and it is the same garbage that was banned off of the Steam store months ago. The trailer runs at an embarrassing 5 frames per minute, the gameplay is still a sad excuse of a Captain America ripoff, and the company even goes under the same name. They just slightly changed it from “Aka Technology Co., Ltd.”to “AKA Tech Co., Ltd.” the equivalent of painting on a Groucho Marx with tar and walking back into the bar that just kicked you out.

It’s another opportunity for those of you who didn’t get the chance to be swindled the first time around. Aka Blade VR comes out later this month.
