Sure we have games on WWII, but a substantial period has passed... Aside from the occaisonal Osama Bin Laden skin in Counterstrike... I think it's in poor taste.

It's not like this would destroy the brand name credibility of bootlegs everywhere. Can you imagine the following conversation taking place?
At the street corner of a bustling avenue
Bootlegger #1: What's the latest findings in the consumer polls?
Bootlegger #2: According to the polls, there is brewing anger and antagonistic sentiments against products that employ strategic placements of images of the twin tower collapse. If we begin to market this game, it could greatly erode our current market penetration of 10% in places with highly nationalistic sentiments, such as America, down to 5% or lower.
Bootlegger #1: Hmmm, I see. Very well, enact a mass product recall.
CurtWRX said:Well I understand the bootleg aspect, but you know at first glance I thought it was a game geared towards angry middle easterns who hate the US... As if it were portraying those screenshots in a positive light... Yeah no doubt a Bootlegger doesn't care anything about taste.
But my opinion on the matter remains the same...
It's in poor taste.
To give back terrorist's activity a good hit, the White House/the Pentagon takes a rapid action and sends out the most excellent specially trained soldiers to go at the major base of terrorists in Afghanistan...
Yeah, that definitely sounds like it's a game for people who want kill Osama bin Laden. Very interesting screenshots for a Game Boy Color game.bokmeow said:I thought it was the other way around, geared toward angry Americans who hate Osama bid Laden:
