Discussion Is it time to re-skin St. Basil's Cathedral?

[Pericles the Lion]

Given Russia's invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine I think that INNO should make the symbolic gesture of changing out St. Basil's Cathedral (which, ironically, commemorates the end of another war). I'd wager that the devs have a bevy of alternative skins that could be used. No changes to the GB's benefits need be made, only it's name and appearance.

no

this is still only a game and no plattform for political statements

 

[CrashBoom]

and btw
then the Cathedrale of Aachen must be changed too

the catholic church is responsible for killing so many inocenct people in the past

No place for religious talk either

this building is not aggressive xD
architecture is not politics

Is it not enough for you they have violated the Ukrainian flag? Now you want to abuse the Orthodox cathedral? Did you not know that Ukrainians are mostly orthodox? Why this virtual vandalism?

What would you propose it should show instead?

I am all about Ukrainians, I'm Pole and never trusted Russian government, but I don't think buildings are to be blamed... I say firm "no" for abusing political correctness...

Though I am somewhat glad that monuments of "great" red army are finally removed in my country, never again should we praise them. They are clearly the case where cure was worse than a disease...

I think players which want to show solidarity should delete their St. Basil

If you have the SBC in Your city, the best thing You could do is to delete it

I don’t see the point to changing out the skin. It wasn’t added to the game as a statement

I guess that I really hit a nerve. This was not my intention. However, you should check your history. St. Basil's was confiscated by the Soviets in the 1920's and is presently owned by the Russian Federation. Except for a single weekly service it is a Cathedral in name only. Suggesting that replacing it in the game is hardly "abuse" or "vandalism" of the building itself.

Really? Then what was your intention?

 

[CrashBoom]

real abuse of children from people of the catholic church

Exactly what I posted, nothing more, nothing less. You do not agree, I get it.

Your sarcasm wasn't lost on me the first time around.

NO SARCASM

if you want discuss morale in history then let's do it correct

only because you now want to feel good you want to do something ONLINE where it doesn't matter

what did you do when you heared about the child abuse

if you want to make the world better do it in the real life and not removing a building from an online game

 

[CrashBoom]

nobody from ukraine cares about that building in this game

they have real problems
not your fake internet game problems

 

[CrashBoom]

you don't even play on beta
