Facebook regrets promoting ‘Bullet Train’ game
San Francisco: Facebook has apologised, saying it regrets promoting a Virtual Reality (VR) shooting game named "Bullet Train" on its stand at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference 2018 (CPAC) in the US, a week after 17 students were killed in a Florida school shooting.
The social media giant's move came after it faced criticism for featuring a violent game so closely after the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
"In light of the recent events in Florida and out of respect for the victims and their families, we have removed the game from the demo. We regret that we failed to do so in the first place," " Hugo Barra, Vice President, Facebook of Virtual Reality said.
"Bullet Train" is a short proof-of-concept shooting game developed by Epic Games in 2015.
