As discussed here and here on IUN, Six Days in Fallujah (Atomic Games; 2010) looked to be a PR nightmare in the making. It seems that the game's publisher came to the same conclusion. From asahi.com:
Konami Digital Entertainment Co. has decided to pull a videogame that realistically reproduces the bloody street battles between U.S. forces and terrorists and insurgents in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2004.
"After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it," a public relations official of Konami said.
Atomic still has time to find another publisher, obviously, but the 75 people on the Six Days development team are probably updating their résumés as you read this.
