Krevde pengene tilbake for Bioshock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite er et spill som tar opp en rekke teamer innen religion, politikk og filosofi, og (nesten) helt på starten av spillet må man gjennom en scene der man lar seg døpe for å entre skybyen Columbia.

Denne scenen har fått enkelte spillere til å reagere, og den største reaksjonen av dem alle hadde amerikaneren Breen Malmberg.

På bakgrunn av hans kristne tro ønsket ikke Malmberg å gjennomføre dåpen (der man renses for å starte et nytt liv i Columbia), da han mener sekvensen bryter mot religionen hans.

Ettersom det ikke er mulig å fortsette historien uten å gjennomføre dåpen valgte han derfor å avbryte spillingen, og i et brev til Valve (PC-versjonen er knyttet til Steam) krevde han deretter å få pengene tilbake for spillet han ikke kan fullføre.

For å uttrykke hvor støtt han ble sammenlignet han dåpssekvensen med "å be en muslim om å spytte i ansiktet på Allah", og ifølge han selv fikk Malmberg full refusjon for spillet.

Brevet i sin helhet lyder som følger:

I wish to return/exchange this game (Bioshock Infinite) for steam credit or refund on the grounds that I cannot play it.

I cannot play it because at the very beginning of the game there is a section of the game that is so offensive to my religious beliefs that I cannot proceed with it any further. I did not know this section of the game was there and had no way of knowing it was there before-hand as it was not shown in any trailers, previews, screenshots or other marketing material.

The player is forced to make a choice which amounts to extreme blasphemy in my religion (Christianity) in order to proceed any further - and am therefor forced (in good conscience) to quit playing and not able to experience approx. 99% of the content in the game.

There is no option to turn this particular content off or to bypass or skip it in any way. In Modern Warfare 2, they at least allowed you to skip a particularly offensive level. This is the same sort of thing for me, but there is no way to skip it in this case.

Please issue a full refund or store credit in the amount of the price of the game (Bioshock Infinite) as I had no idea that I would not be able to play this game before I bought it.

If you need further convincing, I will use the analogy that if you were a muslem, it would be like forcing the player into an in-game action of "press x to spit on the face of allah" in order to proceed any further with the game and with no choice or way around doing so.

I apologize for the potentially misleading choice of category for this request, but you do not have a category I can choose that accurately fits my needs.

Thank you.
