Thread: ‘Dirty Chinese Restaurant’ video game pulled after being denounced as racist

TORONTO – The Toronto-area developer of a video game denounced as racist says the product will not be released as planned.

The game, called “Dirty Chinese Restaurant,” features players chasing cats and dogs with a cleaver, scavenging for ingredients and dodging immigration officials.

Big-O-Tree Games of Markham, Ont., initially defended the game as satire and said last month that it would be released soon for Apple and Android devices.

But the company posted a message on its Facebook page Thursday saying the game would not be released after “careful consideration and taking the time to listen to the publics opinion.”
The company also offered a “sincere and formal apology” to the Chinese community and said the game was not created “with an intentional interest of inflicting harm or malice against Chinese culture.”

The now-cancelled game had players chasing cats and dogs with a cleaver, scavenging for ingredients and dodging immigration officials in a "dirty Chinese restaurant."

Lol. Want.

It’ll probably be worth more on the black market than it would have been had it been available on the retail market.

Having said all of that, there is no way someone could make something like that without knowing it was completely racist.

"After careful consideration". ..

Big-O-Tree Games. Oh, they knew what they were doing.

Reminds me of the reviews I read for a popular Mexican restaurant in Houston. "I was looking for authentic Mexican food," said one lady, "but I was highly disappointed with (redacted). The bathrooms smelled, the floors were greasy and the silverware was dirty.."

I wrote back "You said you wanted authentic."

Hoof really hates Mexicans. That's not healthy, man.

Not at all. I'm just carrying the torch for Don Rickles...

As soon as I saw this, I thought of the Wu-Tang Financial skit on the Dave Chappelle Show where RZA said that Old Dirty ******* changed his name to the Old Dirty Chinese Restaurant. Sure anough, one of their influences was the Dave Chappelle Show.
