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

Some people have absolutely no shame.

Post by: Animal on July 22, 2003, 01:04:34 AM: 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

"Someone is making a game in which you fly a Stuka and dive bomb a church! How staggeringly tasteless!
Some people have absolutely no shame."

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.

Post by: WestyAH on July 22, 2003, 08:50:52 AM: 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.

Post by: Dowding on July 22, 2003, 08:54:54 AM: 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.

Post by: gofaster on July 22, 2003, 08:57:10 AM: 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.

Doesn't matter how appropriate it would be. I'll give you a million to one odds that enough groups make a big enough stink about it to keep it off the shelves of the major retailers.

I can't recall a single UT mod that was sold off a store shelf.
