Top 4 Video Games That Sparked Controversy In India
Indians take offence easily and tend to get defensive when their sentiments are hurt. The tricky part is that India is a diverse nation and what might offend some section of society might not offend another and vice versa. Most would remember the Coldplay’s Hymn for the Weekend video faced a lot of flak for cultural appropriation of Indian religion and culture. I agree that India was depicted in a rather dramatic manner but I thought people seemed to forget that it was just a music video, which everyone knows is a bit over the top. I know dismissing it by just calling it a music video is not doing the controversy justice as this is a mulit-faceted debate. However there is an insightful article on The Guardian that gets into the finer details of this matter. Moving back to the articl...
After Overwatch, Pokemon GO Accused Of Hurting Religious Sentiments – WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Seems like you can’t even breathe in 2016 without someone or the other getting offended.

What is the world coming down to? What’s next, vegetarians being offended by a non-vegetarian talking directly to them, because they spew out air filled with meat? Here’s what the petitioner’s lawyer had to say regarding the PIL (Public Interest Litigation) – “This game hurts religious sentiments of Hindus and va...

Seeing the success of Pokemon Go, it’s only natural that other games may adopt a similar platform. In an interview for the October issue of Game Informer, Niantic CEO John Hanke said that he already has some projects in development that will make use of the Niantic platform. Pokemon Go uses a lot of information that’s based on Niantic’s first game, Ingress, and it’s possible that more games will do the same in the future. Hanke says, “That’s always been our strategy to build up a platform underneath a game that can be used for other games, and frankly other experiences that may not exactly be games, but are still within that area of exercise, discovery, and social interaction. The Niantic platform is very much a part of our long-term vision and we have s...
