Valve Corporation of Bellevue is planning to launch a video game on June 6 that is a school shooting simulator. This is horrific. 
 
 The company is taking the stand that this game is legal because of free speech and everything else that tech billionaires hide behind when they are doing something the public knows is absolutely, morally corrupt but legally fine - but we cannot stand for this. 
 
 How can anyone sleep at night knowing that they are profiting from turning deadly school shootings into entertainment? 
 
 Please sign this petition asking Valve to not launch this game. 

 BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — A Seattle-area company has removed a school shooting video game from its online platform following widespread backlash. 
 
 The "Active Shooter" video game was pulled days before it was to be released on the video game marketplace Steam. 
 
 Valve Corp. as Steam's parent company said Tuesday that it was removing the computer video game because the developer was a "troll with a history of customer abuse." 
 
 The game was developed by Revived Games, published by Acid and led by a person named Ata Berdiyev. Valve spokesman Doug Lombardi says Berdiyev had previously been kicked off the platform under a different business name. 
 
 The game allows players to re-create school shootings by stalking school hallways and racking up kills. 
 
 It was condemned by the parents of students killed during a Florida school shooting in February. 
 
 The Seattle Times reports that an online petition urging Valve to pull the game before its scheduled June 6 release had more than 100,000 signatures. 
 
 Valve is a privately held company which has developed popular games such as "Dota 2" and "Half-Life."
