    Lambourn said the game was "funny". Too bad the article didn't quote any of the "funny" lines. Sounds like he just likes to press people's buttons and enjoys the reactions. I can't say I'm a fan of that mentality.

    The games a bit sick, but shouldnt be taken down. I don't know that it can be taken down legally anyways. More then likely the server isnt in Australia so laws there couldnt do anything.


    The ransom though is amusing.

    So it is okay to post a violent game about a tragic massacre?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Not according to most folks' sense of morals and propriety (but then again, how many WW2 first-person shooters there now were around...?), but it ought to pass in most legislations. Assuming it can't be nailed with something like, now how does that charge translate, "inciting violence against an ethnic group" etc. of course.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Definitely in poor taste, but not worthy of all the attention it is getting.

    Just about every reality-based FPS game has the potential to offend somebody.

    I wonder how the families of killed NVA/Viet Cong soldiers would feel about games like this:

    I suspect any protest they made to the games' producers would be met with the following response (if they responded at all):

    "Don't like it? Don't play it."
    "What, have Canadians run out of guns to steal from other Canadians and now need to piss all over our glee?"

    Yes. And it's OK to criticize it too. Free speech is a wonderful thing indeed.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    If you get upset everytime a jackass brays....you'll go through life an angry person. No sense feeding the troll, pity him instead.
