“Naming and connotations are deliberate.”
Candella Software has defended its controversial video game Alien Jihad to Eurogamer this afternoon.
Alien Jihad was announced for PC, iOS devices, Android and home consoles this morning.
The premise? A peaceful Earth – where Palestinians and Israelis “party together”; Saudi Arabia booms with mini-skirts; the US, Iran and North Korea create the Axis of Peace; Afghanistan is named the world’s safest place; Somalia’s economy swells largest; France welcomes back Roma travellers; British MPs decide not to “fiddle” expenses and “rip off” tax payers – is invaded by Aliens from Virginopolis, who flaunt destructive Fatwa technology. “Greedy” Wall Street bankers are turned into alien clones.
