Anti-Defamation League Slams 'Fun" Holocaust Video Game As Horrific And Inappropriate

That game looks terrible. I would understand if it was released in the 90ies.
I'm surprised how many people can't see how this could be offensive. It's more complicated than just "HURR, DA NAZIS ARE DA BAD GUYS HOW COULD IT BE OFFENSIVE?" It's trivializing one of the worst events of human history by turning it into a shooting gallery. It'd be one thing if the game treated the subject material with respect, but it doesn't.
That said, I also disagree with anyone saying this game should be banned. People have just as much right to be offended by this as the developers have for making it.
looks shit.

How offensive.

Going to get it.
Eh, it's in bad taste. I don't think entertainment based media [i]should[/i] be make about the Holocaust, but worse would be to prohibit it.
Team Raycast.
Pronounce it with a soft C, and it sounds like racist. :v:
They need to make a game with 2 campaigns. One where you play as a jew and another where you play as a nazi.

They really don't
Why is it whenever anyone does anything that has to do with the Holocaust, or even mentions it, the Anti-Defamation League or some other Jewish Organization comes in and calls everyone Jew haters?

It would be cool to get the perspective of a german soldier. Would be a nice change of pace from GRRRR RANDOM AMERICAN SOLDIER KILL EVERYTHING that is(or was) so prevalent in WW2 games.

Too bad they didn't count explosives, then I know an incident that would make them go through the roof.

This is so stupid, this is the single most appropriate thing I can image. The mod itself is so powerful in it's expressions, it's like a work of art, and more importantly: It's a lesson, a lesson in cruelty and inhumanity, a lesson in evil, and, we need more ways to show people just how twisted the world can be, and how it is our duty as human beings to make sure it won't happen again...
If this seems stupid to you, watch the whole game trailer, it has some pretty powerful stuff.
Perhaps they should rate it JO - Jews Only
That way, no one gives a crap. Only the people in their country play it.
I thought this was going to be a mod for Prison Tycoon :saddowns: .
Anyway, considering it's a *mod*, the mod team shouldn't censor themselves because some people get butthurt(especially when the game isn't about killing jews and is only loosely based on the real thing).
For example, JFK Reloaded is really tasteless for some people but it's still fun to play even if you thought well of JFK and his politics.
