Yes, exceptionally bad taste under any circumstances but particularly bad in its timing. For those of us who were around for that dark weekend, it's was a national trauma.
Might as well devise a patch for MS Flight Sim with collapsing towers and a struggle in the cockpit over Pennsylvania or a patch for Need for Speed with a truck bomb and a map of Oklahoma City with the Mura building.
I hope they lose their shirts on the development costs.

What next... no I won't go there, might give them ideas..
This was only a matter of thime though. Sniper games have been around for a long time, the only difference being that this time it's not the good guy shooting the bad.

I don't think I'll be purchasing anything from that manufacture, in the future.

Educational? I don't think so. In very poor taste? Yes.

I for one believe that it is sick enough to boycott all their products, and the only way you can stop people like this, is by sticking together, and spreading the word, not to buy any of their products until they stop putting stuff like this out, and pull all these back off the selfs.

Also for them to apologize to the Kennedy family, and anybody else they might of offended.

Just not buying this game won't stop anything, you haft to include all of their products, then they will take notice real quick.

What brand name are they going under, and who is selling it. I agree with Ted on this, when I heard about it, I couldn't see the screen so, I thought it was somebody playing a prank, that nobody would actually make a real game of it.

??? Their name's in the link you posted in the first place...

Anyway, this sad piece of work has been thoroughly slammed in the UK press - good job too!
