Valve is currently being investigated by the Ministry of the Federal District and Territories (MPDFT) in Brazil (as reported by Kotaku), and this all has to do with a game being sold on steam called Bolsomito 2K18, a 2D beat 'em up that allows you to play as Bolsomito, a right-wing politician that assaults several minorities in the game.

The project seems to be clearly inspired by Jair Bolsonaro, one of the runners for the 2018 presidential elections for the country, who has been criticised for his politics regarding minorities in the past.

Bolsomito 2K18 is still being sold on Steam, and Valve is yet to publically react to the situation. What do you make of this?
