Six Days In Fallujah Looking For A New Publisher

By Joe Haygood | April 27, 2009

It seems that Konami could not handle the heat from all the controvery and criticism running around their decision to publish the game, “Six Days In Fallujah” by Atomic Games. 

From the moment the game was announced, Konami immediately started receiving criticism from people wondering if it was wise to hit on an event that is still recent in many minds.  Criticism only got worse when the CEO of Atomic Games announced that it was consulting with not only US Marines, but with Iraqi Citizens as well as insurgent fighters that might have had a hand in killing US Marines.

All of the heat coming from the endless streams of controversy, which we looked at in Aeropodcast 79, was just hurting the Konami brand and the ability to get a fair shake on the content in the Six Days In Fallujah.  To end with a weird spin on things, it seems that US Marines and US Army soldiers that were asked about the game did not seem that upset by its concept.  All of them just hoped that it presented the events with dignity and respect.
