[UPDATE]: International coalition asks gamemakers, legislators to stop the sale of violent games, takes specific exception to upcoming 2K shooter; publisher responds.

At the opening of The Darkness II, protagonist Jackie Estacado has risen through the ranks of organized crime to become the don of the Franchetti clan. And while it might go without saying that the police in the game's world will be set against him, it turns out some authorities in this world have an issue with him as well.


The heads of the International Christian Police Fellowship, the Christian Police Association, the Swiss Christian Police Association, and the Germany Christian Police Association last month drafted a letter to politicians and game producers explaining their objection to the violent content in many games. Specifically, the organizations called out The Darkness II, saying it and games like it create a distorted perspective of police officers for young players.

The groups are appealing to lawmakers and publishers to immediately stop the sale of such games, referencing the Biblical verse, "[F]or whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

The Darkness II is set for North American release February 7. For more on the title, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

[UPDATE]: 2K Games has provided a comment on the police associations' objections, saying, "Reported stories regarding police officers in The Darkness II were erroneous. To be clear, there are no police officers in the game."

ICF

Origin 1990
Zürich, Switzerland


ICF (International Christian Fellowship) is a church movement aimed at young people and charismatic evangelism of the style typical of US Christianity. It began in 1990 in Zürich, Switzerland with ICF Zürich. Now it has spread to 17 other cities of Switzerland, 9 in Germany and one in London (United Kingdom), Trondheim (Norway) and Prague (Czech Republic).

The groups run off the basic principles of Christianity. Participants are encouraged to evangelize based on the Great Commission found in the New Testament of the Bible. Tithes, or donating 10% of one's income is taken from early Jewish traditions and is commonly practiced by all modern churches.

You have to admit, society would very likely be better off without games like this, but it doesn't mean the government has the right to ban them.

Before people became dependent upon video games and TV to produce dopamine (Which with time becomes more difficult, just like with drug use), their bodies produced it whilst working.

If you don't watch the show thats fine.

If you have that much of a problem with the fact that some people may enjoy the show, I have some bad news for you. You probably like men.

Your supposed connection between not liking the show and liking men makes it sound like some kind of weird "furry" thing.
