Iran Sentences Game Developer To Death

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

OMG, what a bunch of retards. If they think video games can make people think that military action against Iran is justified, wait until you kill a video game designer. If people didn't think military action is justified, they will after they kill a young man based on such moronic accusations. This is so counter-productive.

Two questions:
1) Is this caused by a government problem or a religious problem?

2) If it is the first then why do Americans go into a hostile country if the second WHY DO AMERICANS GO INTO A HOSTILE COUNTRY!!


Here is my point, I do not walk around Hawston (A shady place near where I stay) because it would be stupid to go looking for trouble in a area I KNOW trouble resides, so why do the Americans constantly stick there noses into buckets that are assured to have SNAKES inside.

Iran's days are numbered. They think the US can't afford to hurt them. While the US certainly can't afford to rebuild Iran after a take over. They can still afford to level the country.

 

[Akimoto]

It would have been hilarious, if not for the death sentence - or any sentence in general.

Bad PR, Iran. Really bad.

 

[Awexsome]

While announcing to the world that you're going to execute this American is just a terrible thing for Iran to go with... I could believe that the U.S. would have a guy in there doing that kind of spy work. Iran's accusations mean as much as the U.S. denial.

Is there any proof of this propaganda? It shouldn't be too hard for Iran to show proof of this method of propaganda if what they accuse is true. If they show up proof of said game I'll feel bad for the guy but I put the blame on the U.S. for running that shit.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

This is just really weird, I'm so used to seeing news about the American or Australian government doing shit like this. But Iran? I wouldn't be surprised if it were a radical movement party, but the actual Iranian government.

It kinda shows another thing too. All this time America has been pouring money into homeland security, protecting every square foot of land we have with a shotgun, and what most of us don't realize is they're doing more of the same.

 

[zombiesinc]

What an absolutely ridiculous and infuriating situation. I don't even know where to begin.

I've always wondered what it'd be like being executed. Maybe this guy can make a game about it afterwards so I can experience all the fun of execution with none of the death.

... wow.

 

[TheBelgianGuy]

You... you guys know that currently, high-profile Iranians, say, professors and scientists working in the nuclear field...

ARE ACTUALLY BEING MURDERED IN IRAN?
Like, with bombs?

And that industrial sites and research centres...
ARE BEING SABOTAGED AND BLOWN UP?
Like, with bombs?

Like, by the CIA or the Mossad?

Do you people think Iran really does these things for giggles? You people are murdering their top-scientists... but when they arrest a CIA spy, OMG SHITSTORM!

 

[FalloutJack]

What? Oh, this is bullshit. Games don't work that way!

*Wonders if this has any connection to the amount of pushing and shoving Iran's gotten from the U.S. about their nuclear power program*

 

[Lovely Mixture]

You people are murdering their top-scientists... but when they arrest a CIA spy, OMG SHITSTORM!

I really hope you're being sarcastic. First off "you people" is pretty offensive to boot, way to generalize U.S. with a board full of multi-ethnic forum-goers.

Secondly, there is no way to know if he is a Spy or not. Sure it's suspicious that he went over there at such time. But Iran has arrested many people (foreign and not) and gotten "confessions" out of them.

 

[Zetatrain]

A Former US Marine who has links with the CIA and he skips onto a plane and flies to Iran?

What the heck was he thinking? This is the same as those US campers who ended up hiking into Iran from IRAQ................... Like really, what goes through these peoples heads? This is real life, not a TV show.

The guy had a dual-citizenship for America and Iran and was visiting family. Knowing that I'd say the man's reason for ending up in Iran are better than the hikers, though I personally would not set foot in Iran even if I had both of those, because its government is paranoid as hell and does not care much about human rights.

 

[Zetatrain]

Well the guy is an Iranian citizen (has a dual-citizenship and he was visiting family. Now personally I don't think it was a smart idea to enter Iran especially if what he did for the CIA is true (I say "if" because the confessions Iran gets out of people seem a tad bit forced to put it mildly). But the plain and simple truth is that people do stupid things, even smart people do stupid things once in a while. There is no limit to the stupidity of mankind.

[EclipseoftheDarkSun]

In 2006, CEO Keith Halper admitted that his company worked on training software for the U.S. Army, but never claimed that any other government organization was backing any other projects. Additionally, one of KumaWar episodes the company created was called "Assault on Iran" and required players to infiltrate an Iranian nuclear facility in order to grab evidence of illegal uranium enrichment and sabotage the country's atomic weaponry.

Well, I don't want him to be executed, but it seems strange he'd visit a country that's quite dubious, after making a game episode like that about them...

Kind of like spreading meat paste on your testicles before running through a wildlife park in Africa past some lions.

 

[Tony2077]

damn something really needs to be done about that backwards place

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Tis sort o ting makes me want a bloody invasion revolution

 

[SenseOfTumour]

What amazes me is that word must have got out that the rest of the world isn't like that, and that people choose to stay there.

I know many people are massively anti immigration, but I think if we just took all the people who didn't want to live under the laws of crazy countries, and gave them all a house and welfare, we'd still be better off that paying for wars with them.

Just take all the decent, non mental people out, and leave all the loonies in Iraq and surrounding countries to hack bits off each other for having a side parting on a Thursday or whatever's the latest holy law this week.

Yes, I'm probably being massively racist, but I put it down to Team America Syndrome, that the more dickish someone is, the more you can get away with mocking them with racist stereotypes, see Kim Jong Il.

when you're stoning women for being raped and the like, I get to find your moustache funny.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Kind of sad that some countries are still stupid enough to pull crap like this. This is completely illogical. I have absolutely no idea what they're hoping to accomplish with this other than worsen allready strained relations. These people should not be making decisions for ANYONE, much less a country.

Oh and it's also morally wrong but lets be honest, every single goverment in the world (except mine, because it's perfect) has probably done something as in the last month. We just don't know about it.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

...

...Note to self... Don't go to Iran anytime soon...

After all the news I've heard about Iran over the past while I just can't take it seriously anymore! It's like the entire country is a sitcom and every week there just trying to outdo what crazy shit they did last week.

"Oh! What will that CRAZY country do next?"?

Although I will admit, there is some real shit going down there and I imagine this isn't close to the worst thing that's happened/happening there. When is he going to be executed anyways? Is there a date?

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

Hang on, isn't this guy a USE CITIZEN? Wouldn't executing him on trumped-up charges be considered akin to an act of war?

You can't just let them get away with this sort of crap. The line must be drawn somewhere and state-sponsored murder of your citizens is WAY beyond that line.
