The first-person shooter (FPS) game, called "Pakistan Army Retribution," invited gamers to play the role of a Pakistani soldier ridding a school of insurgents. It was removed from circulation Monday.
It begins with a rousing rendition of the Pakistan national anthem, before recreating in nine levels the terrible events that comprised Pakistan's worst-ever insurgent attack, in which 145 people, including 132 children, were killed.

The Punjab IT Board's chairman. Umar Saif, later took to Twitter to acknowledge that the game was "in poor taste," and said that by removing it the company had made "amends."
He later told CNN that the government had run a campaign around the first anniversary of the attacks, which the game was part of, to unite the nation in "peace and harmony."
However he admitted that the game was inappropriate and its release poorly handled - adding that it had opened a Pandora's box of issues surrounding radicalization and that the game's release was also causing security issues, but declined to elaborate.

My main complaint is the graphics suck. Should be banned for that, alone.
Look at this Castle-Wolfenstein nonsense.

Thought the subject was pretty good though. I guess there are still some sane people left in Pakistan.
There is a good opportunity here, to create a FPS that is blatant propaganda. For example, showing the bad guys as Satan worshiping homosexual cannibals who eat the flesh off their still living victims. Being sure to include stuff that is utterly revolting to Pakistanis.
Then crank out thousands of copies that are smuggled into the country and sold at cheap prices.
(DUCKS)
Not sure I follow. Are you saying there are other video games out there besides Skyrim and Fallout?
Really?
Nah, this is some sort of photoshop meme joke thing. Godd Howard only makes Fallout and Skyrim. If there were other games I’d have heard of them.
????????
That sounds like something A Synth would say!!!
You can drop the act Norm. Step out of line, or I'll melt you into Slag!
Meh...sounds like something a mere console peasant would say... ;)
