Pretty much any game where you could kill Americans and Jews would be totally awesome, right? |
Ehm, excuse me, did you just compare the palestinians and Iraqi men who oppose invation to the nazi's?... Wow... that's insightful. |
Ehm, excuse ME, you should read Omar's comments in this thread. The three groups of people he would like to play in a video game are Iraqi insurgents killing American soldiers, Palestinians killing Israeli soldiers, and Nazis killing Allied soldiers. I'm not the one saying that, HE IS.
There sure seems to be a theme developing between the three, and it's killing Jews and Americans.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
