"Left Behind" Video Game Sales Disappoint; Company Stock Plummets

Boy, I just hate it for them. Considering all the efforts to organize boycotts by religious groups, typically due to intolerance of one form or another; this time, voices of reason against intolerant and religiously-motivated depictions of violence have been heard:
...not only do media reports coming out of Southern California reveal that the game has received mediocre sales, but a simple look at Left Behind Games Inc (LFBG) stock performance — in the words of DefCon advisory board member and Christian Alliance for Progress director Rev. Tim Simpson “you didn’t think this was a ministry, did you?” — reveals over an 80% drop in the stock’s price since the game was released in November.
Sweet. Violent video games "for God" suck.
