A video game designed to simulate school shooting scenarios has been removed from the digital games store Steam. Active Shooter was due to be launched on the popular PC gaming site on 6 June, provoking an outcry from politicians and the parents of children killed during the Parkland shooting in Florida. A petition calling for the game to be removed from the store was signed by more than 180,000 people. Valve Corporation, which runs the Steam site used by more than 100 million people, said in a statement: "We have removed the developer Revived Games and publisher ACID from Steam. This developer and publisher is, in fact, a person calling himself Ata Berdiyev, who had previously been removed last fall when he was operating as '[bc]Interactive' and'Elusive Team.'"
