Gamer Limit writes: "Pursuant to the negative attention drawn by their web-based Faith Fighter, Italian designers at Molleindustria have opted to pull it from their site entirely. Though it hit the net over a year ago, the satirical fighting game was catapulted onto the mainstream radar screen after UK news outlet Metro ran a story on it this past Sunday, citing calls from various religious organizations for its removal.
A representative of the Organization of Islamic Conference's 'Islamophobia Observatory', upon learning of Faith Fighter and its premise, remarked that 'the computer game [is] incendiary in its content and offensive to Muslims and Christians.' "
In the very first episode of vs. Node, Eddie Inzauto and Christos Reid talk about swine flu's videogame debut, a flash game that outraged religious groups across the globe, homosexuality in gaming, and headline topic, sandbox games.
Article introduction: "Trolls - they're the underpass-dwelling cretins you love to hate. In the real world, rudeness can earn you a sock on the jaw, but the anonymity of the net has made aggravation an art form. One cannot help but admire their works; how they stir up bitter arguments, then feign ignorance when their schemes are undone..."
Yesterday, Italian game site Molleindustria took down its 1 year old Faith Fighter parody game offline. This was cause by the pressure from the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). However, less than one day Molleindustria put up a sequel to Faith Fighter.
Did this game really cause such a big stir? I'd never even heard of it until now.
Still, for what little it's worth, I really doubt the developers were trying to send any message with this game.
Is this really what god wants?
C'mon it's over a year old.
Religious people are a bunch of cry babies.
A world without religion would be a more peaceful world.
