Gelovigen willen geld terug van Bioshock Infinite

Als je mijn review van Bioshock Infinite hebt gelezen of de game hebt gespeeld, dan weet je dat je helemaal aan het begin gedoopt moet worden om de wereld van Colombia te mogen betreden. Maar er zijn gamers die dit weigeren te doen omdat ze een ander geloof aanhangen, en deze klagen nu bij onder anderen Valve waar ze ook hun geld terug kregen. Hier onder kan je de klaag brief van Breen Malmberg lezen, en nog meer over het onderwerp op de website van Kotaku.




I wish to return/exchange this game (Bioshock Infinite) for steam credit or refund on the grounds that I cannot play it.

I cannot play it because at the very beginning of the game there is a section of the game that is so offensive to my religious beliefs that I cannot proceed with it any further. I did not know this section of the game was there and had no way of knowing it was there before-hand as it was not shown in any trailers, previews, screenshots or other marketing material.

The player is forced to make a choice which amounts to extreme blasphemy in my religion (Christianity) in order to proceed any further - and am therefor forced (in good conscience) to quit playing and not able to experience approx. 99% of the content in the game.

There is no option to turn this particular content off or to bypass or skip it in any way. In Modern Warfare 2, they at least allowed you to skip a particularly offensive level (http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare...). This is the same sort of thing for me, but there is no way to skip it in this case.

Please issue a full refund or store credit in the amount of the price of the game (Bioshock Infinite) as I had no idea that I would not be able to play this game before I bought it.

If you need further convincing, I will use the analogy that if you were a muslem, it would be like forcing the player into an in-game action of "press x to spit on the face of allah" in order to proceed any further with the game and with no choice or way around doing so.

I apologize for the potentially misleading choice of category for this request, but you do not have a category I can choose that accurately fits my needs.

Thank you
