The Russians have published a game on Steam called ‘Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes’, which is a perfect example of careful disinformation directed against a specific community.
The game’s description explicitly states that they “want to show what happened in Ukraine at the beginning of this war” when “when it was supposed to end in a matter of days” thanks to “brilliant Russian airborne assault” but then “turned into a years-long slaughter” as result, as the description, suggests, of false promise of “draft peace agreement in Istanbul in March 2022”.
Every word of this description is a lie, but the game is still available on Steam Store and is scheduled for release on 24 March.
I encourage you to report it, for example, as defamatory, which may result in its availability being restricted, for example, to Russia, where the fraudsters will be able to convince themselves.

I seriously doubt that "1942: Heroes of SS" would come through, this is exactly the same :/

Steam doesn’t work on the computer where I’m writing now, but here’s a screenshot in Ukrainian - it’s on the game’s right panel the store, the flag icon

Absolutely it’s defamatory. The war is still going on. The genocide of Ukrainians is still going on.
Making a game about Israel invading Gaza would be about as defamatory as this. 🤬
