Punjab state IT board in Pakistan commissioned a video game to be produce about the school massacre which took place in Peshawar in December of 2014 at a public military school which left more than 150 people dead the majority of whom were students. What sort of government would, not only consider producing such a game but then actually create it and sell online at Google Play? It's just sick that these people would try and profit from the deaths of these students.
A video game based on a Taliban school massacre in Pakistan's city of Peshawar in December 2014 has been withdrawn following a barrage of criticism.
The game - Pakistan Army Retribution - was released by a government digital agency in the central Punjab province.
Players could act as soldiers shooting the attackers in the school. The agency later admitted it was "in poor taste".
More than 150 people, mostly pupils, were killed in the attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar.
The game was released on Google Play several weeks ago - around the second anniversary of the attack.
However, it became a focus of public attention after Pakistan's Dawn newspaper reviewed the game, declaring that it "failed on every front".
