JFK ReloadedA new and controversial computer game from the UK company: Traffic. This is a simulation game where the player has to reconstruct the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald. It is controversial as many consider it to be in bad taste, the Kennedy family have described it as ‘Despicable’. Possibly the bad taste is further compounded by the fact that the players are playing for a cash prize of $100,000. This is not a game that will available in the shops, it is available online and the player buys tokens for each attempt at the game. It is likely that Traffic will make a lot of money from this. From the death of one of the world’s great leaders Is it any surprise that this is considered controversial or unethical. Traffic argue that playing the game will make young people take an interest in history and raise their awareness of such historical events. What do you think? This web page is NOT here to promote the game, quite the contrary it is here to make you think about the ethical implications of paying money to participate in a game that can be seen to glorify the death of a great man. Those that will play this game will be blood lusting leeches and money grabbing wannabees. |
