Why was 6 days in Fallujah cancelled?

[MOM]

It looked really cool, but then it got cancelled :(


I know, this is an old question

Lots of lives were lost during WW2, look at Wolfenstein. That game got released.

yeah except that happened 70+ years ago and Nazism isn't a threat anymore

Islamic terrorism IS still a threat, and no one wants lives to be lost because of some stupid game

[MOM]

Yeah, I guess you are right about that.
What about GTA?

GTA is a highly controversial game depicting gang violence, yet a game depicting a war in a faraway country was too controversial

we live in a world of violence in case you didn't know, sure you can touch on the topic of gang violence and the sort, but religious extremism is something that should not be taken lightly

you don't know what will happen if you release a game/media like that, gangs don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about gta, isis and various terrorist organizations will probably do give a ♥♥♥♥ and they might do something to which people later regret of doing so that caused that retaliation

Before this gets any worse, Id recommend we just leave this conversation at that before it turns into a political argument.

That doesn't make sense

Because they developed the game at the wrong time. The world isn't yet ready to accept what happened in Iraq, yet alone play a game about it. Could you imagine how angry people would've been if Wolfenstein 3D was released in the 40's? Hell, 50 years later, and it still caused a lot of controversy.

Personally, I'd love to play Six Days in Fallujah. It should've helped to open people's eyes, make 'em realize that what's done is done. We can't take it back, so we might as well just accept it, rather than dwell on what was out of our control.

I think more people would be calling it revolutionary.

And possibly witchcraft.

well, it is already beyond 6 days (and 6+ years) and still the fighting isn't over.
