This is soo much an insult. I have been playing this game for a while but this may make a difference as to how I go forward.
If I look at the photo of the building posted in the forum
The little red car definately looks like a mid to late 30's roadster. I may be wrong if so please enlighten me. If it is an auto from 1930 or below then I can see where it would be included.
As both winners (one suggesting alcatraz) were both from germany I think it even more appalling that a prison be chosen. I am german dutch descent. I think that suggesting a prison where human atrocities were rampant is insensitive and a slap in the face to every American who plays this game.
What if an American suggests Auschwits or Sorbibor as a Great building for Germany's contribution to the world in the next age of the game?
Would the German developers be so quick as to agree this is how they want the game to portray their homeland? We have rules about discussing politics in chat and forums yet we will suffer controversy from the developers about just that by allowing this building to be called great.
The building in question is not great but rather infamous. A great building that represents the United States should be one that is first of all GREAT in that it promotes not tears down.
Secondly it should be a building that is easily recognized by peoples from all over the world. Put up a pyramid and everyone knows your talking about egypt. Put up a Statue of Liberty or a Lincoln Memorial or a White House or a Washington Monument and everyone knows your representing America.
The contest was about Great Buildings not Notorious ones or Infamouse ones. If the criteria is that of notoriety then the next era I hope to win with my suggestion of Auschwitz for German Fame.
