Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

    Fuck Alex Jones

    Agreed. After his Bohemian Grove success he was only in it for the money.

    and all the conspiracist bullshit he stands for

    Hang on. Are you saying the public should unquestionably believe everything the government and corporations tell us?

      No, just that you should get your information from verifiable sources and not from people who profit from making up “truth”.

      There are plenty of real conspiracies out there and they’re mostly boring - schemes to swindle the last dollars out of the public pocket.

      You rarely hear about these from people who deal in “conspiracy theories” though.

        Totally agree. This definition includes CEO, marketing departments, news outlets and politicians working for lobbyists and corporate sponsors.
