Sony Forgiven by the Manchester Cathedral


Sony Forgiven by the Manchester CathedralIn its violent PSP game called Resistance: Fall of Man, Sony placed a gunfight scene in the Manchester Cathedral, without asking for permission.

As you probably have heard, this game was nominated for an award at the British Academy Video Games Awards, but unfortunately they have failed.
Sony apologized for using the images with the Cathedral but it does not have the intention to withdraw the game from the market.

The Very Reverend Rogers Govender, the Dean of Manchester Cathedral declared:

"I think some important lessons have been learnt.
So we do forgive Sony for what they have done, even though they still believe they have done nothing wrong. In an industry that is breaking new Sony Forgiven by the Manchester Cathedralfrontiers, it is important that long held traditions of film and television are maintained.
These traditions include having courtesy, respecting the dignity of your subject, and admitting when mistakes have been made.
In so many ways Sony has failed to live up to these standards by disrespecting people of faith and the victims of gun crime here in Manchester."

The funny part of the story is that since this dispute, the Manchester Cathedral received many visitors of all ages.
