But again - accepting the outrage completely - what makes this any worse that any of the dozens of news recreations or the Oliver Stone film? Why is this getting negative press from every corner but they did not? Why is it okay to have Tom Brokaw show a computer simulation to millions but not place that simulation in the hands of the public? The only questionable aspect I see, soley when compared to others, is that their is a cash prize. Yes, the game is being sold for profit, but it's easily argued that the Stone film as well as the news recreations were also done as profit centers.
