There used to be a game company called Midway that went out of business over a year ago. There's another by the name of Raw Thrills founded by several former staffers of theirs. But they've insulted the intellect of anyone who believes in human rights by building a game that's got a Dubai setting on the selection menu. They tell in this recent press release:
I used to admire Jarvis, who designed old games like Defender and Robotron 2084. But this only makes me lose respect for him, and I don't think I'll be bothering about this new motorcycle game of his.

A video game with a Dubai setting
There used to be a game company called Midway that went out of business over a year ago. There's another by the name of Raw Thrills founded by several former staffers of theirs. But they've insulted the intellect of anyone who believes in human rights by building a game that's got a Dubai setting on the selection menu. They tell in this recent press release:
Raw Thrills is proud and excited to feature Dubai as a race course in the new blockbuster racing game [Fast & the Furious:] SuperBikes 2™!How about people who don't approve of Dubai's record of human slavery, for example? Which includes sexual slavery, child slavery, and even anti-semitism. There's even British expats living there who've literally become paupers. By paying them tribute so carelessly, they're only giving a show of ignorance. Their press release's naivity doesn't help either.
Raw Thrills first considered Dubai as a setting following a suggestion from Prakash Vivekanand of Amusement Services International at 2009's IAAPA Show. Prakash explained the growth and energy of Dubai and encouraged further study.
Dubai - a crossroads of traditional Islamic and Arab culture and modern World dynamism - is energetic, young, and high-octane. Home to the largest collections of Superbikes and Supercars in the world, Dubai is no stranger to the sight of tricked-out rides and exotics cruising the skyscraper canyon of Sheikh Zayed Road. [...]
In preparation for this unprecedented undertaking, Raw Thrills sent a team of HD artists and 3D data technicians to Dubai to capture the architecture, layout, and city life so they could best represent the vibrancy of the Emirate. This research culminated in the SuperBIkes 2™ Dubai fantasy race course, a hyper-realistic joyride through the glowing, brightly-lit Dubai night. [...]
"Of all the incredible tracks in SuperBikes 2™, Dubai stands out," says famed game designer Eugene Jarvis. "It captures exactly the vibe and feel of a hot, exciting race under the evening sky. Who wouldn't want to burn through Doha Road with some friends to see who's the SuperBikes 2™ king of the night?"
I used to admire Jarvis, who designed old games like Defender and Robotron 2084. But this only makes me lose respect for him, and I don't think I'll be bothering about this new motorcycle game of his.
