Video game manufacturers in bed with gun manufacturers
http://j.mp/Urk10W (New York Times)
"As Electronic Arts prepared to market Medal of Honor Warfighter, the
latest version of its top-selling video game released in October, it
created a Web site that promoted the manufacturers of the guns, knives
and combat-style gear depicted in the game. Magpul, which was a
marketing partner in the latest Medal of Honor game, by Electronic
Arts, recently did a promotion with the N.R.A. A scene from
Activision's Black Ops II. Among the video game giant's marketing
partners on the Web site were the McMillan Group, the maker of a
high-powered sniper's rifle, and Magpul, which sells high-capacity
magazines and other accessories for assault-style weapons."
