Controversy follows decision to pull Columbine video game
Quote:
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A film festival that also showcases aspiring video-game developers has caused controversy by rejecting a game depicting the Columbine High School massacre.
The move by the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, prompted a key sponsor from the University of Southern California to withdraw in protest, and six game makers pulled their creations.
The festival said it had moral obligations to consider.
Danny Ledonne, who created Super Columbine Massacre RPG!, says he wanted to make a game about an important event and believed it would spark serious discussion about the shootings in Colorado in 1999.
