The problem is that, for Africa, the idea of armed white men murdering or pillaging in their cities and countryside is not fiction like it is for us; it's recent history. The stuff that you see in the trailer happened on more than one occasion, and the white man wasn't a hero, and the black people were not zombies beyond redemption.

No one would criticize the Anti-Defamation League for protesting a game that features Jews being gunned down or worse, gassed, because the Holocaust is still very fresh in the minds of the West. Germany would never let the game be sold within its borders. But what's been done to Africa is largely forgotten, and easily dismissed.

When you say it that way, it really does seem like this was a horrible development decision.
