More heat has come out over Atari's graffiti game, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure by way of the UK's Anti-Graffiti Association. AGA chairman Derek McGovern told GamesIndustry.biz that he "found it disturbing that a company such as Atari should encourage an activity such as graffiti vandalism." McGovern also states that the AGA "are also against graffiti for commerical purposes e.g. as advertising and for commercial gain generally."
"While graffiti on public buildings should not be tolerated, my particular sympathy goes to private citizens who find their homes blitzed by graffiti and who have to go to considerable effort to restore their properties back to their prime condition. Graffiti vandalism has a significant effect, not only for public authorities but also for individuals." McGovern and the AGA are considering taking further action.
Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure has been in hot water already including in Florida and New York City but so far Atari has had little more than gum-flapping to worry about.
