| At 02/24/2001 11:34 PM we wrote - Dear Flipsider, We want to apologize for the insensitive language and the misdirected humor in the IMGame Chromosomething. This highly popular version of the classic Othello™ game was designed to entertain, not offend our players. This game has been on our site since September without any objection by the flipside community. When the game was first designed there was some debate among flipside developers regarding the language, but the game was tested in the community and no one raised a flag. This does not mean that early decision was correct. You have articulated a very strong reason to withdraw this game from our site. We will drop the game from the site within 24 hours (by 2-14-01). Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Again, we apologize if you were offended by this game. Our mission is to provide entertainment. | |||||||||||||||||
| Description | |||||||||||||||||
| I recently became aware of a game entitled
"Chromosomething" that is published on your website. I have read only a brief description of the game however even this short description was disturbing. Of primary concern is that children not be exposed to it however it is unfathomable to me that adults should be given an opportunity to take part in this game either. The description I read of this game suggests that it promotes behavior and attitudes that have the potential to hurt and demoralize a great many people who are trying to live with dignity and respect despite their misfortunes. I am writing to request that you remove this game from your web site. E. MacIntyre | |||||||||||||||||
