Mixed Messages

The game about a true Iraq War battle is in the midst of some pretty predictable controversy, and the publisher isn’t helping:

Not even out, the game is already sending mixed signals. While the developer says, “For us, games are not just toys,” Konami states, “At the end of the day, it’s just a game.” Konami’s VP of marketing, Anthony Crouts told The Wall Street Journal, “We’re not trying to make social commentary. We’re not pro-war. We’re not trying to make people feel uncomfortable. We just want to bring a compelling entertainment experience.”
