Sony LBP Delay Not Favoritism, Just Business
Quote:
"The recent controversy surrounding Sony's decision to delay the release of LittleBigPlanet, over a Qur'an reference made in one of the tracks, has many gamers flexing their memory muscle in an attempt to illustrate a double standard.
The belief is that Sony's 2006 decision to essentially ignore the Church of England's request asking for the removal of the Manchester Cathedral from their Resistance: Fall of man game, paired with the company's recent willingness to comply to the perceived wishes of a Muslim community, demonstrates favoritism."
Ripten's Chad Lakkis proceeds to explain why he thinks a business bottom line, not favoritism, is the reason behind Sony's decision to fight the Church of England and appease the offended Muslim gamer.
