It’s not just PC gamers who hate Call of Duty: Black Ops – apparently the entire Cuban population is all up in a rage about the game. Or, rather, a sequence involving a CIA assassination attempt on erstwhile Cuban el presidente Fidel Castro.
“What the United States couldn’t accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually,” says an article posted on Cubadebate, a state-run media website. It’s alleged that the CIA has undertaken some 638 assassination attempts on Castro over the years, including an exploding cigar, infected scuba gear, and various poisons. In Black Ops, they’ve dispensed with such elegant subtleties, and go in shooting instead.
“This new video game is doubly perverse,” the Cubadebate article goes on to rant. “On the one hand, it glorifies the illegal assassination attempts the United States government planned against the Cuban leader … and on the other, it stimulates sociopathic attitudes in North American children and adolescents.”
I suspect the bit about laggy multiplayer and glitched Care Packages is implied.
