Yesterday I heard that we were taking Hatred down from Greenlight. Since I wasn’t up to speed, I asked around internally to find out why we had done that. It turns out that it wasn’t a good decision, and we’ll be putting Hatred back up. My apologies to you and your team. Steam is about creating tools for content creators and customers.
Good luck with your game.

Many/most of the missions in the Payday games can be stealthed without ever having to fire a round. Yes, if that goes south, you do have to protect yourself from the police onslaught in the game but that isn't the main focus of the game. You also mentioned civilians in Payday. Yep, you can kill civilians in the game but it comes at a cost: You lose a fairly substantial amount of money for every civilian you kill. Not only that but you actually speed up and exacerbate the police assault against you. Keeping civilians alive is actually preferred because they slow the police assaults and they can be traded in to get a dead/captured player back into the game.
I wonder if it is because of other games like Payday and Grand Theft Auto where innocent people get killed. No, its not the focus, but it is part of the game.
Its just very confusing and just a matter of time before something happens and media outlets point to it and they then take it down.
