Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada today, pointed out that unnecessarily dragging religious figures into battle, who were greatly revered by the adherents of their respective faiths, to sell video game for mercantile greed was very disrespectful, highly inappropriate, insensitive and could be disturbing for some faithful.
Rajan Zed further said that Hindus were for free speech as much as anybody else if not more. But faith was something sacred and attempts at belittling it hurt the devotees. Video game makers should be more sensitive while handling faith related subjects, as these games left lasting impact on the minds of highly impressionable children, teens and other young people, Zed added.
Peace was at the core of major religions, while this video game seemed to be full of violence. Moreover, the highly revered religious figures were not meant to be reduced to just a “character” in a video game to be used in combat in the virtual battleground, Zed noted.
“Fight of Gods” from developer Digital Crafter, and published by United Kingdom headquartered PQube, is said to feature “a roster of ten larger-than-life fighters” and is available on Steam platform. It has been termed as “greatest tournament ever devised” and claims “mythological beings and holy icons must battle to uncover the truth and save the world”. David Pain is CEO of PQube, while Ken Wei is CEO of Digital Crafter.

As rightly pointed by Zed, Hindu Gods, Hindu culture, Hindu religion & Hinduism are not only being targeted & disrespected by immoral, cruel, insensitive, immature, arrogant, foolish, mean, irresponsible & insensible men like David Pain & Ken Wei but also by organizations like Digital Crafter & PQube, which CANNOT be tolerated at any cost. I demand an immediate BAN on such cruel, insensitive, insensible, inappropriate & immoral video games which dares to show Hindu Gods, Hindu religion, Hindu culture, Hindu customs & tradition in poor light which CANNOT be tolerated or accepted at any cost. I demand an unconditional written apology from such people & organizations, not only towards Hindu Gods, Hindu religion, Hindu customs & traditions, Hindu culture, Hinduism but also towards all Hindus that they would NOT enagage in any action either now or in future, which disrespects, demeans & derides our Hindu Gods, Hindu religion, Hindu culture & tradition, Hinduism & Hindus in any manner whatsoever for all of eternity.
