Hitman 2 Backlash [Oct 30, 2002, 09:40 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The SikhNet News' Hitman 2 Video Petition
(thanks Computer and Video Games)
looks to inspire a recall of Hitman 2. Here's the deal: "SikhNet has
partnered with thirty-five Sikh organizations around the globe to demand that
video game publisher, Eidos Interactive, recall one of its games from the
market. The game, Hitman 2, incites racism and hatred against Sikhs and Dalits
by linking them to terrorism. The game glorifies violence against Sikhs within a
Gurdwara that looks like the Harmander Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple,
while Dalits are portrayed as followers of an evil cult leader, according to a
vivid description that was recently removed by Eidos from its web site."
I could not agree with you more.... If we (or "they") elect to censor or prohibit media of any kind from distribution on the basis of it's "offensive" nature, where does that ultimately lead? Who decides what is "offensive" and what is not?
I propose that we let the marketplace decide. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Let your dollars speak.
