Please be informed that the game „Heroes of Donetsk“ contains Russian propaganda and needs to be taken down.

The development of this game started before the war and is about the Donetsk war in which thousands of people were killed and has been going on since 2014. The protagonist fights neo-Nazi groups like Azov, not the people or even the Ukrainian army.

Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014/2015 and 2022. The dead are on his conscience if he had one. And the whole neo nazi narrative that your game is repeating the lies of a dictator who suppresses his own people and sends young Russians to their graves.

Please don't discuss issues like this in the community. Report games using the link at the bottom of their respective pages. Thanks.

Nobody's trying to silence you. We have rules like these for a reason. If our admins decide they shouldn't take action, then that's it. But they need your report to look into the matter.

Point taken. Do you know how long it usually takes Administrators to get back to me? 48 hours? 72 hours? 

I am rather fond of itch.io and would hate to see its reputation tarnished by spreading war propaganda ie that parts of Ukraine eg Dontesk was „freed“ by neo nazis when in fact Putins Russia simply invaded Ukraine.

This is all the more impotant when charity bundles for Ukraine are discussed here.

I'm not sure. It depends on how busy they are and what the situation is.
