It doesn't really matter who does it. How ridiculous would a game be if it was something like "Slaughter the Indian women and children in the western frontier" or "Gas as many Jews as possible" or "Let's bomb the embassy"? I think just about anyone would find those morally reprehensible themes for a game. Making a game based on a terrible tragedy or terrorist act is just plain disgusting.phil-12-12 wrote:

I'm sure Germans are tired of WWII games.
Get over it.
Get over it.
You know, there is a marked difference between a game based on a declared war, and a game based on a terrorist act.geNius wrote:

This game doesn't put the player in the pilot's seat, now does it?SenorToenails wrote:

That's right, be disgusted at crashing planes being brushed away from populated buildings. Question: did he actually play it? If not, what does he have to worry about? Harry Potter is tasteless to extremist Christians, but you don't see everybody else calling for a ban.So, when the 27-year-old from Graniteville was told of an Internet videogame allowing players to shoot down airplanes as they fly toward the Twin Towers, he was disgusted and the old hurt surfaced again.
And no, the game doesn't sound interesting at all.

However, in a 2002 Denver Post article, the French game designer said there is no way to win the game.
Pwned.
Additionally, extremist Christian are a smaller minority, while much of America, even those not close to people in the attack, felt the pain of it.

This is pure generalizing USM and you know it, the game is tasteless no doubt but it has nothing to do with France as a country, it could have been made anywhere but the US.

Wait behind the line ..............................................................
Reminds me of Super Columbine Massacre RPG (a genuine game) except possibly that one had more of a point.
If you want to bitch about Muslims going crazy over some cartoons that are about the absolute height of bad taste for them, then do what we all advise them to do, don't watch it, don't play it, get on with life. Believe it or not there have been 9/11 jokes around since about 9/12 and some of them are incredibly funny.

I agree that if you don't like it, don't play it. I won't be playing that game. All I say is that it is in poor taste to make such a game.PureFodder wrote:

Oh no. A game depicting a real world event. How tragic.
I was going to go play BF1942 as Axis, or perhaps BF:V as NVA, but I'm just so disgusted that some people would make a game about a tragic event where the good guys don't win that I just have to shed a few tears before I go play.
It's a game, guys. If you don't like it, you don't have to play it.

Yes, it is a game. But don't you see a difference between a game taking place in a war and a game based on a terrorist act? I'm not saying that this game should be banned, I am saying that it's creation was pretty despicable. To each his own I guess.mikkel wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
I gotta tell ya, I have no problem with this game. It might be offensive to some, but could be no more offensive than BF2 to a a person who witnessed death and destruction in Iraq or Afghanistan. Maybe a Vietnam vet could be offended by BFV or perhaps a WW2 vet offended by BF1942, yet we all know how we feel about these games.usmarine2005 wrote:

The real issue for me is this, if you are offended by such games, do not play them. We have no constitutional right NOT to be offended. I do not believe in censorship beyond what parents administer to their children.
I don't really see any difference other than that World War 2 and the Vietnam war were much more destructive. Many million people died horrible deaths in both wars, and many million people were executed. Soldiers and civilians alike.SenorToenails wrote:
