KURSK game in subsim??? Guys, are You crazy?
 
Gentlemen,
I d like to make a protest regarding "KURSK" game that was announced in subsim home page. The name of Kursk is the name of real tragedy for 118 families in Russia.
I cannot imagine that someone will make a game like "Save Twins Towers "
or "9/11".
Just please respect the dead sailors that honestly died making their duties!

IMHO it is unappropriate especially in subsim community.

Wow - you're a bit behind on the times...

Don't know what you're talking about, never heard of that game before.... but look at this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nlz-Zr6DMI

And this singer is an american cold war submarine veteran :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: ....


Personnally, considering that an american Los Angeles class sub (yes, ladies and gentlemen) is the one, and only reason of the death of 118 russian sailors aboard the Kursk, I would not have sung this song if I was american.... So yeah, I know what you think, make money with this kind of thing is abso-**********-lutely non-ethical and disrespectful....

But the only solution for you now is to see this as an homage to those dead submariners.

I agree 100%. Hadnt spotted that before.


Last night I was about to post a similar thing about the new stalker game,its based in chernobyl?? Not on, not on at all.

Alex 04-06-07 09:25 AM

I did not see this, well, I must admit that I'm.... hmm, no, no need to tell my thoughts on that. :lol:
But I agree with you USS, I would largely prefer to let the souls of those sailors rest in peace. I don't like to speak about this catastrophe and don't like to see people developping this kind of game. :-?

The thread is not related to Silent Hunter 4 and I'm therefore moving it. The poster should PM Neal if he feels strongly regarding this issue.

con20or 04-06-07 09:29 AM

I'm not bothered by most things, definitely not sensitive but i just had a look through the screen-shots for the 911 game, man thats just wrong.

Drebbel 04-06-07 09:30 AM

Hmmm, but we are allowed to play games about WWII, right ?

I guess we will have to wait a few decades before a game like this will be accepted by the community.

RIP all KIA
nationality is only an illusion.

I see where this is going, but ww2 wasnt 5(six?) years ago.

Nor is there a game where you make burning people jump out of the top floor of a building. i bet you didnt even go to the link.

Godalmighty83 04-06-07 09:34 AM

too soon imo.

plus it also looks mighty shoddy

Drebbel 04-06-07 09:36 AM

Ok

Censored by the Democracy

LMFAO

Wow.

You all play WARgames. That's all that needs to be said.

There was a saying that time treats everything.... In this case KURSK is real sub not an abstract name.
If they gave another name for this game with no connection to real sub, KURSK.
make a money on human losses.... sorry

Drebbel 04-06-07 09:40 AM

All historical war games make money about human losses. It is the chance to loose you life, the danger, that makes war so interesting.

And many more people make money on it, defence industry, journalists, etcetera

But I dont play wargames on current wars. Like Bagdad etc.
Both of my grandpa's were killed by WWII , one in Stalingrad anotherone died after ww2 due to wounds. and i didnt see anything immoral playing sh3 for example. BUT if someone palying the game like NAZI HONOUR (fictional) . its a sickness. if some one playing pilot who drops bombs on Hirosima / Nagasaki ---its a sickness
