Yes they have every right to do it. It's now a historical event. We make games about WWII don't we? How would this be different?
how about a game where you have to hijack some planes and ram some certain high buildings with them then? historic event, right?
as for the thread: well, what the guys before me said. plus that it's obviously a nice way to cement a picture very positive towards the u.s. in this whole affair, if accurate or not nobody will remember. everybody will think: that's the way it happened.
Yes how about that? I'd play it if it looked like a well designed game. Should we just pretend it didn't happen? That any inclusion of something about 9/11 was crossing the line? The way I view these things is that you can make a game about ANYTHING YOU WANT. Doesn't mean it will sell well, but you shouldn't be stopped for making it.
i agree as far as that i would not oppose it if the game in question would be well designed and handle the critical issue maturely and in a sensible way.
what we have here though is obviously just the attempt to make some quick profit with some shoddy game that in all probability will distort the truth vigorously.
so where to draw the line? there was this once economy game once, named "concentration camp manager". and it was exactly what it says on the tin. i think we can agree that this kind of thing is not cool^^ hard to find a good middle ground..
The only thing I can say is that I feel EVERYTHING should be fair game and it once again comes back to the individual. If you don't like it, then don't play it.
it's not only that i wouldn't like to play a game where i manage a concentration camp, i utterly resent the idea of such a travesty existing!
and sorry if that sounds offensive, but i believe if you think that it's fine that there is a game that tries to sell the player the genocide of millions of innocents as a good and desirable thing, then you need professional help.
Why thank you for that medical assessment. I'll be sure to take it into account.
On topic: Yes YOU don't like it, so of course it shouldn't exist. I don't like seafood, so by that logic I should be pandered to and have it removed from existence.
no, you don't get it, not one bit. seafood is not my kind of thing, but if some people like it, they should have it.

I think you could make a very interesting and moving game out of that idea.
of course one could make an actually good game out of it, there is a lot of potential for deep characters and such, emotional fuel by showing the unimaginable horrors..i was refering to some old game that pretty much without an ounce of irony sold the whole holocaust as a good idea.
No I'm not saying it's a good thing. What I'm saying is that just because it's a bad thing, that isn't reason enough for it not to exist.
so..you are saying that there is nothing wrong with it. (promoting and advertising the holocaust and millions of murders as a good thing.) as i said^^
As I said above. It's not a good thing. BUT that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist!
and that is becaaaaause...?
(i'm really curious now. what, WHAT could possibly warrant the existence of something so horrible and damaging like that game)
OK so this game you think the world has no need of should be burnt from existence. Much like all the books the Nazi's burnt yes?
you failed to respond to the question.
and further there is a difference between burning books with content that is undesirable for your evil system and banning a game that advertises just this evil system and violates the rights of men. the books the nazis burned didn't harm anyone. this game in question promotes hatred, murder, intolerance and injustice.
is it really that hard to gasp that promoting and calling for hatred, murder, intolerance and injustice should not be allowed?
how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
Alright. Let's do this.
The question was "Why should this game exist"
My answer. This game should exist because it was made by normal people who are obviously intelligent enough to code a game, and because to censor it in any way (i.e banning) would be against freedom of expression and the consumer's freedom of choice to choose what they play.
The game does not advertise this evil system. It's a resource management game with that skin over it. And a violation of the rights of men?? It is a violation of the rights of men to not allow me to play it.
The books the Nazi's burnt didn't harm anyone? Correct. And neither did this game.
It apparently is that hard to grasp.
And I do mind you asking how old I am. Because it's implying that you think I'm some stupid 12 year old who plays Black Ops and is a Nazi sympathizer.
