Althought I didnt buy it, I was legally given a copy of Postal 2 back when it was still in progress. I know 3 people who worked for RWS (running with scissors..the company that made it)...the game is supposed to be a huge joke...which no one seems to get. Do I like the game? Not really...mostly cuz its boring and a BIT over the top and obvious over its intent....not saying this justifies the 9/11 game..BUT..i think i see it as a dumb marketing ploy to try and sell copies of a half-______'ed product that would never sell in any other theme. What they will saldy find out (which RWS did)..is the game will NOT succeed. Postal 1 was an underground hit, but was banned in most states....which made postal 2 banned even before it even went gold. "Objectionable" games never get popular on their own....even when they are just underground..they need people and media to give it publicity...good or bad....these guys opted for the bad.
Honestly, how many of you would have found out about this game had it not been such an extreme subject matter. I can list you about 100 other mods being made that are "not offensive" but no one would care about.
You know what they say, theres no such thing as bad publicity.
