"The release of a new war-based video game the day before Remembrance Day is in very poor taste, according to a war veteran who served in Vietnam"
yada yada yada

"
The North Kildonan resident added that the insult would be less if the publisher of the game had offered to distribute a percentage of the profits to different veterans associations.

ahh.. so what you are really saying is that your sense of outrage is lessened by YOU making money and not just someone else?

k... got it... and you know what? That makes you even worse then the game company releasing this.

The publisher doesn't really care about the date. If they could have released it a month ago they would have. Everything is released on a Tuesday.

They "could" delay it a week if they really wanted to.

In theory they could. But try telling someone to push back their biggest release in their company's history and the response may not be too favorable.

I agree.

Especially when you say..

You should change your release date! You are making me mad!... or just give me money.

Check the new very popular outrage thread! On this story, I don't see that it is even newsworthy! Some company is releasing something just before Nov 11th, obviously trying to get all old soldiers to buy the program and stay at home on their computer to play a war game. This would be old codgers from WW2 all around 80 to 95 years old, some 7 years younder if they were involved in Korea!
Big market for this video!
