Konami caves, drops Six Days in Fallujah |
Ó
Those against Atomic Games' Six Days in Fallujah (PS3, Xbox 360) can now breathe a sigh of relief as publisher Konami has dropped the controversial game due to the negative reaction it generated.
"After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it," said a Konami rep. "We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there."
Six Days in Fallujah immediately caught the attention -- and wrath -- of veterans, citizens' groups and bereaved family members of soldiers when it was revealed earlier this month. The game is based on the battles in Fallujah, Iraq, which occurred in November 2004.
Interestingly enough, some soldiers fully supported the game's creation. Fallujah veterans were also instrumental in its inception.
Atomic has yet to announce if it will shop the game around to other publishers.

wtf, i was actually looking forward to this, Hey Konami ever hear of GTA, yeah the best selling and arguably most controversial franchise of all time.

Sell it to the GTA publisher, they'd take it.
they probably had a long meeting and decided that it would be in their best interest to drop the game, and i think they made the right choice. konami is a great company but i don't think they or the fans wanted them to have that kind of attention.
I get the face that people are upset over what this game is about but seriously, why do people like to cover up bad events like this? It's not like it goes away or makes it any better. Showing what happened would probably have a positive effect as people may realize what happens when you make idiotic decisions.
was really looking forward to it... I don't see what the big deal is about it and why it got the bad response... There's plenty of other games out there that have a lot more controversy
When will stupid people learn is or it was just a game?
wonder if this games aslo has war crimes also written all over it like the actual event in fallujah we seen on tv
