Valve say a Mount & Blade: Warband mod which reportedly misrepresented the events of the South Korean Gwangju Uprising was pulled offline worldwide by its creator, with the folks behind Steam only having blocked its distribution in South Korea.
The mod, reported on by Automaton yesterday, was called “Gwangju Running Man” and was a total conversion that turned Mount and Blade’s medieval warfare into an apparently warped depiction of 1980’s student-led protests against the military coup of Chun Doo-hwan, which were violently supressed by the country’s army. Around 200 people are estimated to have been killed during the uprising.
