TIGA Reponds to Call for Medal of Honor Banning

Following the earlier story where Defence Scretary Liam Fox called for banning to the new Medal of Honor title, TIGA's Richard Wilson this evening responded with a statement.

"I can certainly understand why some people feel sensitive about this issue. However, we should remember that some games and indeed other forms of entertainment (such as movies and books) are sometimes set in a contemporary war scenario. The crucial point is that this game is 18 rated so should therefore only be played by a mature adult audience able to understand the difference between a computer game and actual events in Afghanistan. Consumers will be the ultimate judge of this game.”

Good to see Richard chipping in on this issue which has been blown out of all proportion today. Great PR for the game though. Will politicians ever learn?
