The Examiner - On Boycotting (or not) Orson Scott Card's SHADOW COMPLEX.
Indeed, much of the heavy lifting was done by Peter David, a straight
writer-geek who is about as gay positive as you can get. And while the
EMPIRE universe Card created depicts, according to Wikipedia, a "...A
radical leftist army calling itself the Progressive Restoration [that] takes
over New York City and declares itself the rightful government of the United
States," by most accounts, the game itself is very apolitical, and might,
according to some writers, even subvert that entire premise.
Gus Mastrapa, writing at Wired, argues the game should be boycotted, even in
light of the minimal role Card played, especially since there are "dozens of
talented science fiction writers" who could have been brought onto the
project, all without the baggage of Card.

Then you're actively damaging the console industry to boot!
That's why I buy used Xbox 360 and PS3 games, even though I don't own a console!  |
