That is pure sugarcoating to prevent people from complaining because they are scared to put controversial content into that "game". Like it's not already.
People's feelings are just hurt way too easily nowadays. They are being scared into cancelling or changing games or movies with controversial content. Nobody is forcing you to play these games, and nobody is making you buy it.
If you feel offended by something,
don't buy or play it. This is very personal and I know there's plenty of you who will disagree with me on this one;
Remember "No Russian" from Modern Warfare 2? That was an awesome level - and it made perfect sense in the context of the game. Yet the amount of media attention it got because of that level is ridiculous. I've done much, much worse things in video games than gun down some innocent civilians, you know. In games that have never been mentioned on Fox News, either. I dropped 4 nuclear bombs in downtown Venezuela in Mercenaries 2. I'm sure innocents died. Thousands, probably. Nothing in the news though. Atomic Games' Six Days in Fallujah was cancelled after they buckled under the media pressure because it was a "controversial" incident. You know what, so was Chernobyl. So were World War 1 and 2. So were Desert Storm and Desert Fox. There have been tons of games about all of those. But since that's "history", it's okay.
I'm probably gonna get crucified for this stance but people need to stop getting their panties in a bunch over what is nothing else but entertainment. Nobody is going to play Medal of Honor Multiplayer, and go "Holy ****, the Taliban are great! I'm gonna kill some American soldiers now!" How is it different than playing the
"OpFor" in Modern Warfare? The kind of mothers portrayed in these videos should really focus their attention elsewhere than the gaming industry.
