Despite the company’s decision to remove the controversial mini-game, it seems like Serious Games Interactive founder and CEO Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen is standing by what the game originally stood for, even with its mini-game. “I definitely agree it is insensitive and gruesome. It has to be like this to show what was done to load slave ships,” he said over on the game’s Steam forum. “People treated human beings as pieces that just had to fitting into the cargo. The reactions people have to this game is something they will never forget, and they will remember just how inhumane slave trade was. If this is the case then we have accomplished what we set out to do.
