Political Incorrectness In Games

Ever notice when a game is politically incorrect. For example: Punch Out! on the NES. Just about every opponent you faced is given some racial name based on their nationality and is made fun of left and right (no pun intended). Yeah, that was pretty funny. But then, there are some games that just step a bit too far. This is the story of one of them.

In the early 1990's (1994, I believe), Sierra released a game that I LOVE call Detroit. Yes, it is another business sim like I oh-so-love. In this one you take the helm of a car company and do everything from developing new models to conducting research to building factories. Very awesome game if you can find it (very hard to come by). However, there is one thing in it that is just WRONG. In fact, it is so wrong that I personally get a kick out of it. However, if a Super Bowl commercial with a similar idea in it got bashed left and right for it by activist groups, than this is far far wronger. If your company goes bankrupt, you get a game over animation. Generally, it goes something like this. You see a businessman in his office (presumably, you the player) at his desk with a cup of water in his hand. He then goes over, looks out the window, and places the glass of water on the ledge. He then proceeds to open the window and jumps out of it. The scene fades with the blinds swaying in the wind due to the open window. ... ... Quite a graphic ending for a business sim...

I for some reason just remembered that one and figured others might get a sick laugh (or start a political uprising from interest groups that I can watch and laugh at). But still, people, put a little logic into what you put in games. That should have been more obvious than not putting Hot Coffee in GTA (and hell, they didn't leave it in the game unless you hack it).
