Poor taste, but what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. When you add to a shooter a sense of reality by inclduing names and faces from reality, then you also transport parts of the content of the fighting side'S ideology as well as an invitation to identify with one of the sides. And then it is not just a shooter like Unreal anymore. If the side to identify yourself with is in explicit defence and use of terrorism, then at the latest I think the morals of such a release becomes absolutely questionable. Some say its free market, and anything goes. I say: No, not anything goes, and not anything must go. And "anything goes" should not be allowed or tolerated. There are limits to everything.

Could I have a "hostel movie" simulator where I am realistically torturing and killing bounded victims - maybe with optionally available digitally recorded enhanced screams sound package and a small plastic vial with guaranteed original human tears fluid as special gadget in the surprise special edition for the first 200 customers? Or a stoning-simulator? we could have realisistic physics for calculating the correct flightpath of the stones, depending of power used, throwing distance and size of ther stone. Advertising with a slogan of helping to battle adultry? the faces of the victi... I mean the cheating women, are covered in reality and so realism could be claimed for covering them in the sim as well. This would make it a non-troubling experience even for younger players.

Business is not neutral on morals. And it should never allowed to be.
