Default 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.

Don't know what you're talking about, never heard of that game before.... but look at this :

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


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 did not see this, well, I must admit that I'm.... hmm, no, no need to tell my thoughts on that.
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.

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.

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.
