Killing at the Office: Zombies good, People bad
April 3rd, 2006 | by amarfresh |The gamer in me is making me post this. I guess we can thank Grand Theft Auto and the Pixelantes for this. ;)
Mobile titile, “Office Massacre” was due out this month, and would have been released had it not been for criticism in the press for being socially irresponsible. The self-described game is now under rebranding and redesign.
Office Massacre is now titled Office Zombies, and is undergoing plot and design changes accordingly. The game was due to go on sale this month and will now likely be delayed, although Alten8 said it will not take long to carry out the changes.
Why should the press care, and why should Alten8 the publisher care what the press thinks? The reworking of the game will surely curtail adoption- the title alone will do it. If Rockstar started off like this, they’d be nowhere. Take a chance and be great Alten8! Your stockholder will be forever greatful.
