North Korea Angered Over Ghost Recon 2

Fennario writes "According to Stars and Stripes Pacific's translation of a North Korean government newspaper article, UbiSoft's forthcoming Ghost Recon 2 videogame, which envisions a near-future North Korea/China conflict with US involvement, has already attracted the reclusive country's attention. In a curt review, a North Korean government-run newspaper called the game proof of U.S. warmongering. 'Through propaganda, entertainment and movies,' read a recent online commentary in the Tongil Newspaper. Americans 'have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths.' Given the steep learning curve of previous incarnations of Ghost Recon, it's conceivable many may face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths anyhow."

Which totally, and completely, pisses me off.

Why?

Because I wanted to invest in Ubi about 2 years ago, and I couldn't.

Okay...it wasn't because they are French, it is because they are a private company.

Damn, I really wish I could have invested in them though. They have been selling games out the ying-yang, and are one of the better performing game companies. I like to buy what I know, and I'm really disappointed I couldn't buy any of this company.

On the other hand, about 4 months ago I had a great vision of Krispy Kreme stocking going up. Bought some, and lost a crap-load on it. Stupid donuts...

Ubisoft rocks. Great games...
