Golf War creates controversy
Oct 14 2010
We knew that we'd create some controversy with the game, obviously, it's a touchy subject to some people, but we disagree that the game is in bad taste.
When playing the game, and we encourage everyone to you'll notice that no one dies, no one even gets hurt. We were very sensitive to this during the design phase, and, had to continually defend our position (people wanted to be able to use the golf club as a weapon, we said NO).
I can imagine that any soldier would love to be able to escape the horror of war and play a round of golf. Lets face it, war sucks, people die, there is nothing funny about it. But, we make games about war all the time, and in most of them you DO get to kill people. Are they in bad taste?
The game was made to be fun, not offensive. Hopefully that's what people get from it.
