Anonymous Coward writes "Gaming companies worldwide are pulling their products at an alarming rate off the entertainment shelves, in an apparent attempt to distance themselves from the recent terror attacks in the US. This article questions such moves, and the apportioning of blame to the entertainment industry for human disasters." Update: More games are being pulled from the shelves or postponed. "Crime Patrol" has been indefinitely postponed as has the new Tom Clancy game.
