Post Tekken Tag Tournament 2 use Arabic script for Allah found on stage floor

The Pakistani media Should take serious action TekkenTag Tournament 2 game for written name of Allah on Saudi Arab Stage on the floor and against the developer.

I have request to all Pakistan's Media please share this on their newsfeeds so that people are aware. Secondly the developers must have a translator in place when developing any such games so they do not offend any religion. They are multinational companies and can afford a translator.





what Harada_tekken said on tweet



Read below what Tekken Team developers said.

Quote:
Namco Bandai will change stage in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 after it was found to contain the Arabic script for Allah.
Tekken fans Dengo and iSymbiox took to Twitter to point out that the Arabic script is on the floor of the Saudi Arabia stage. iSymbiox tweeted Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada: "Can you please remove it from the Saudi Arabia Stage it's very offensive to Muslims!"
Responding to that tweet, Harada confirmed a change will be made.
"We didn't know that. We will change stage design data as soon as possible. We couldn't read that," he said.
iSymbiox seemed happy with the outcome. "Thank you Mr. Harada for your concern and support!" he tweeted. "You really are a great person!!
Earlier this month Infinity Ward made an edit to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Favela map after it aggravated a portion of the Muslim community because of a painting placed above a toilet.
The painting had holy teachings written around its frame: "Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty."
Meanwhile, Harada confirmed a Tekken title update will release in November. This update, which tackles character bugs, stage issues and the matchmaking system, is in certification with Microsoft and Sony now.

I know this might be an offense, but having Devil Jin or Kazuya is an offense to Christians or Catholics but I am not going to change it since everyone has a right to like their own bases on free will.
I know this is not the only game that has breached against religion or cultures.

Well, i don't really know what to say about that. I don't even know the story of the stage and there's Jin Kazama and Mokujin i think. Anyway, yes game developers have translators. I'm a french Canadian and now all games we can buy here have french voice overs or french subtitles. Sometimes it really sux.

Not to offend the game developers but allow me to think that if this has been found in the game's design, according to me they must have known what it meant. I didn't know though.

Oh come on now people are now getting bitchy over religious phrases in a game? With all the occultic and satanic things that goes on in our government today, we cower with fear to a simply phrase that happens to be of religious origin? America you have made me 10x more concerned for you. Do you really want our freedoms to be relinquished so fast and so dire without a fight?

I mean people really this is when censorship comes way to far. With all the mentions of demonic beings in games like DMC, Mortal Kombat; do people take the time out to examine the stages for any christian or roman catholic text? NO they just simply play the game -- for purposes of enjoying it. Way to go "gamers".

Namco forgot about religious feelings of their games players. Devils, Angels, Resurrection & Ascension (Jun in TTT2 Ending), Religious Scripts... Wake up Namco! It's too much.
