Note what a major game company has done here: It has created - and played to - the worst stereotype of religious people in order to market its game to a generation that finds it "hip" to be anti-Christian. Can anyone imagine them choosing to do this to any other segment of American society? What is saddest here is that it only demonstrates the absolute ignorance of too many people. Dante's Inferno on which the game derives its name is obviously not anti-Christian and through metaphor sets forth a Christian view of sin and renouncing it therein. No doubt the game is nothing more than mindless shooting/blowing-up demon bots using Dante's legend as an excuse. I'll take 100-to-1 odds that EA only choose the title since they could use it without paying royalties to anyone, and 99% of the gamers who play it as well as the developers who designed it has never read the actual work!

Shades of cocaine in Redbull? Subversive marketing?

The only important point here is that these brain-dead pop-culturists wouldn’t dare fake a Muslim or lefty protest.
Muslims, btw, have been whining about the actual Dante’s Inferno for centuries, since it portrays Mohammed in hell.

Come on, it's not like conservatives will call for people to stop buying EA products or to sell stock.
That'd hurt the economy!
The political partnership with free market ideologues and libertarians has killed off our capacity to protest these things. We've been so busy defending the rights of business, we've stopped asking them to behave responsibly and respectfully.
