Variety reports that Facebook was exhibiting Epic's VR shooter Bullet Train at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland last week before pulling the demonstration over the backlash it generated (thanks Polygon). We were not aware that games are normally demonstrated at political conferences, but the article refers to CPAC as if it were E3, saying, "The company and the game’s developer, Epic Games, have showed off the VR experience at trade shows before." Showing the game in this setting so soon after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School raised some eyebrows, however, and Facebook admits they should have seen this coming. "There is a standard set of experiences included in the Oculus demos we feature at public events," said Facebook's Hugo Barra in a statement. "A few of the action games can include violence. In light of the recent events in Florida and out of respect for the victims and their families, we have removed them from this demo. We regret that we failed to do so in the first place."
