We deal with that a lot in video games. The fact Mafia II was released in August and this concerns a game most people have already rented or returned smacks of a publicity grab.Bloomberg has a longer and more thorough story whose net effect is to intellectualize whining.Mafia Victim Families Fight Increasing Violence, Brutality in Video Games [Bloomberg via GamePolitics]”UNICO National, a group that represents replica Longines L2.643.8.73.2 Men's watch Italian Americans, has lodged a protest with publishers Take-Two over the portrayal of the Mafia in upcoming game Mafia II. Because, you know. The mafia are portrayed as Italian Americans.Andre' DiMino, president of the group, says the game is “racist nonsense”.
“Why would Take Two foist a game on their targeted audience of young people wherein they will indoctrinate a new generation into directly associating Italians and Italian-Americans with violent, murderous organized crime, to the exclusion of all of the other 'mafias' run by other ethnic and racial groups?” he says.”Take Two is directly, blatantly and unfairly discriminating and demeaning one group to the exclusion of all others. We replica Longines L2.676.4.78.5 Men's watch are demanding they halt release of the game and cleanse it of all references to Italians and Italian-Americans”.Of course, DiMino hasn't played the game. Nor does he seem to be aware the game's name is “Mafia II”, not “Yakuza II” or “Triads II”.
He also seems to be unaware that the mafia are a bunch of Italian Americans, which is surprising considering his role as head of a group of Italian Americans.Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick really didn't even need to respond, but he did, replica Longines L5.155.0.16.6 Ladie's watch issuing a statement that read:Mafia II tells a compelling story about organized crime in America a subject that for decades has been featured in movies, television shows and novels. Neither UNICO nor any other organization purporting to represent Italian-Americans has seen or played Mafia II.
