“After the game got big in 2020 we had to change the colour of the MedBay cross because we apparently violated the Geneva Conventions Act by making it red,” revealed the studio, owning up to its error with an “oops”.
“War criminal crewmates,” the studio later joked, describing the mistake as a “silly whoopsies“.
In the replies, No More Robots founder Mike Rose revealed that he has faced a similar issue with the legislation, which establishes international legal standards for humanitarian treatment in war. “Amazingly, we’ve failed console cert on three different games for this exact thing,” shared Rose.
