Protesters have formed around E3, and they"re surprisingly livid about the game Dante"s Inferno. 1UP user Jeff Yanick snapped photos and even interviewed one of the protesters. Cherry Adams from The Saved Group said they consider EA the "Electronic Antichrist" and are protesting based on the game"s portrayal of hell. "This disrespects ourselves, the Bible, the Christian belief," she said. "We don"t need this right now in our society."
Specifically her organization disagrees with the ability to leave hell, using the cross as a weapon, and the game"s violence. "So we decided to come down before it"s released here and spread the word so people can be informed about it." Asked why the organization is protesting the game specifically when the work of literature has been around for years, Adams feels it would encourage impressionable young people. "Our youth today live in a fantasy world to begin with, and they don"t need any encouragement to follow in the sins that are laid out in the levels of hell."
Obviously, as gamers we"re likely to think her claims are a bit dubious. Feel free to sound off in the comments below, but seeing as this story involves religion, make sure you"re respectful. We certainly don"t want a holy war flaring up on a gaming site.
