After it gained a Linux beta back in 2015 it didn't seem like it would ever leave, but developer Destructive Creations has now given the Linux version of Hatred an official release.
Direct Link
It's worth noting, that it didn't really change much during the beta and they have no fixes planned for the Linux version unless "you find something really broken".
About the game:
Hatred fills your whole body. You’re sick and tired of humanity’s worthless existence. The only thing that matters is your gun and the pure Armageddon that you want to unleash.
You will go out for a hunt, and you will clear the New York outskirts of all humans with cold blood. You will shoot, you will hurt, you will kill, and you will die. There are no rules, there is no compassion, no mercy, no point in going back. You are the lord of life and death now - and you have full control over the lives of worthless human scum.
You will also run, you will need to think, you will need to hide and fight back when armed forces come to take you down. You will have no mercy for them, because they dare to stand in your way.
Only brutality and destruction can cleanse this land. Only a killing spree will make you die spectacularly and go to hell.
Still strange how controversial the game was early on, with Valve removing it from the old Greenlight system and later reinstating it with an apology. There have been plenty of worse games released before it and likely will be plenty more that follow.
Find it on Steam.

I didn't play Postal when I was an angst-driven youth and I'm not going to play Hatred when I'm a happy middle aged father.
That is up to you of course.
As a curiosity, may I ask why you consider it contributing to post "I will not play this game" under an article about a game?
I've wondered what the reasoning behind it is.
Great fun till I got to the final boss on Sunday. That just felt impossible. Have to try the expansion.
But Postal 2 had life and color , and plenty of parodies/caricatures.
This seems to be Postal 2 with none of that.

I don't see big difference to people posting that they will buy the game the respective article is about...
Quoting: razing32I actually picked up Postal 2 on a sale recently

Yes, that is the main difference between Postal 2 and this game. This is just edgy and violent for the sake of being edgy and violent.
But the key can be activated. It's always a nuisance to get it another way.

From what I saw from a couple of streams, even the edgy and violent gets blunt and dull after a while. The "shocking" execution scenes quickly become a chore when repeated 5-10 times, and murdering partyers doesn't have much challenge when they forget there's a killer in their midst after about 15 seconds and just wander back into your line of fire.
Oh, and all the bugs and glitches. I think those had the most entertainment value.
Gotta appreciate the story and acting, though. It takes real skill to make Tommy Wiseau look like a dramatic genius by comparision.
The studio also did a shovelware wave shooter called IS Defense, based on a paranoid fantasy of shooting brown invaders coming to take over Europe. Samsai played it on the GoL stream a while back, it was really badly made.

Quoting: 1xokSteam don't sell it in Germany. :(

Because German ban violent games. Thats why some small devs/publisher bypass this ban by selling on other sites like Humble, GreenManGaming or Fanatical - european steam keys without a national lock :)

Probably just wants everyone to know what a special little snowflake he is :)
Either way this is no different to doom and many other violent video games IMO, people are seriously shallow these days and cherry pick things under an ideal of standards but let's be honest, COD/BF4/this.... it's all the same kind of violence in the end!
Stop being a snowflake!

Quoting: x_wingIs a story behind this psychotic shooter? I mean, sounds like a rogue like version of Postal.
No the story is literally in the blurb its a shooter you have to execute civilians to regain health gun down people that cant defend themeselves all very edgy if your 13.
