Following a wave of protest in the US, Konami has dropped plans to publish a documentary-style shooting game based on the Second Battle of Fallujah in Iraq, to have been made by Atomic Games. The main character would have been a US troop in the battle.
Konami reportedly told Asahi Shimbun:
"After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it. We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there."
