Royce Akers of Vice News called the game's developer an "Idiot", and said that the game could be "an insanely labour-intensive attempt at being murdered in order to win a Darwin Award".
What's the deal with hipster "journalists" nowadays and their propensity to cower in fear whenever it comes to the topic of defending free speech?

To be honest, from the clip I saw, it didn't look very labour intensive to me...but the rest of that might be correct...

I'm not familliar with this "hipster" journalist but there was also something called free religion but I guess most people are only political correct when it suits them and are okay with insulting 1.6 billion people for no other reason than to pretent to be superior.

Free religion means, it can be lived up to a point where it collides with the countries laws (which it does quite often, but whatever).
For pretending to be superior?
You didn't get the reason for this (and the "draw muhammed day") at all, it's about the statement, that "fear" is NOT a legitimate/working tool in our society and terrorism must NOT be allowed to have the intended effect!

What a hilarious stuff! It does not exist! I downloaded it and cannot believe what i am seeing. Thanks for sharing! What a mess! Now, to work, i have to upload it somewhere, which unlike piratebay, shifted elsewhere after being attacked.
"Select animal" xD
I'd rather have people reading (translated) mean passages out of the quran in the open and showing around pictures of people stoned/mutilated/executed by muslims after quran law, so they can see what pi-people are actually defending than creating such trolling like this game, but I'm not opposed to it either and after all there are way worse pieces of "art" out there, thinking of the human centipede for example.

Let me get this straight, you think it is okay to ridicule/demonize an entire religion because it has rogue elements that abuse it?
I didn't get the "draw muhammed day" thing at all, I only saw affraid people react stupid, which probably was what the terrorists were going for.
how is that game going to help anyone?

Thank you for the indirect suggestion of the human centipede! I love horror and it is a long time since last time i watched a movie. I was like waiting for someone to mention a good movie, so i can watch. Thanks again!

Strijkbout: Let me get this straight, you think it is okay to ridicule an entire religion ...
Yes.
No 'because' or anything. No need for reasons. Everybody has the right to follow any religion (as long as it doesn't call to harm others). But everybody else has the right to find any religion ridiculous. It is entirely OK to make fun of the pope. There are tons of jokes about Jesus or god. There are jokes about Buddha, Confucius and any other figure well known enough to be a target. There are jokes about atheists, cristians (especially nuns and priests), jews, mormons, whatever. Why should Mohammed be any different? Equal rights to everybody. There are tons of cartoons in newspapers about all kinds of public figures and about all ideologies.
Why should Islam get a special treatment? Whoever demands that his faith should be 'protected' before all others, obviously feels that his faith is in need of that protection - i.e. that it is a fragile thing. Whoever is secure in his own beliefs, stands above the jokes of some ignorant jesters. You can make all the jokes you like about agnostic physicists and I won't feel offended. Hell, I make jokes about physicists myself! Only those who are either insecure or those who know that they are in the wrong, try to forbid criticism.

Religion itself is the biggest troll on the planet. I can't even begin to describe how offensive I find religion, especially the ones that make such big claims for themselves as Islam. Satire and ridicule are a perfectly appropriate reaction.

Yes it's ok to ridicule an entire religion, without limits. Why on Earth would any sane person think religion should be exempt from ridicule? How big or small the rogue element is in any religion is irrelevant in that regard.

Games aren't there to help, there here to entertain. I find this entertaining. If you don't find it entertaining, play something else.
