It's an outstanding example of misplaced creativity...





Still... I'd rather live in a country that allows this rather than one that tries to suppress it.

How staggeringly tasteless.

Some people have absolutely no shame.

I agree sandman but this is just wrong. I hope the creaters invest their life savings and go broke.

I agree, but then again, we play a game in which we fly NAZI, slave labour built aircraft to attack and bomb cities.

I dont think it would have been taken any differently back in 1946

I guess some time has to pass before we are allowed to take tragedies lightly.
But I dont really care. It looks like a crappy game anyways.

The good thing is that we live in a country that allows us to not buy and use the product.

Dude I used to do it all the time, ever since the first version of Microsoft Flight Simulator on a 4.77 MHz IBM PC.

After seeing the topic subject my first guess would be another lame game being produced by WildBill.

Regardless.  I agree that this is tasteless. And it's pathetic.

It is sick, but many games are sick or tasteless in nature. Unfortunately, considering the event it's based on isn't disguised in anyway and considering how recent the event was I would say it is wholly inappropriate.

Maybe its an adaptive therapy.  You re-enact the most tragic thing that's happened to this nation since '41 as a coping mechanism.

Another theory: to appreciate what those people went through, you do it, too.

I'll bet most of us have developed a better appreciation for the WW2 air combat history since doing flight simulators.

thought along these lines while viewing ww2 german military items for sale on ebay .... wondering if in 2051 you'll be able to bid on an original  de-fused pal bomb belt ... probably much sooner than that .....
