Board Game Controversy: GMT's "Scramble for Africa"

[Shad]

What do you make of the idea that certain subjects are too controversial to be made in to board games and what do you think it's implications are for gaming and society?

Let the market decide if the game sells or not.

I do not support watering down of all and any games just because the masses do not like the history involved. Christian conservatives freaked out over violence in game. Now people are freaking out over history in games. What is next? No WW2 games at all? No Europa Universalis because the European factions often win?

Total War: War of the foam Sword! DLC: They are not dead! They are just napping!

Do you think the gaming company made the right decision to pull the game or not?

It was a PR move to avoid fallout from the non-customer masses consumed by outrage media. Right for the company's bottom line
