Church forgives Sony for copying Manchester Cathedral, kinda

Filed under:

In what actually seems like more of a slight than a good-willed apology acceptance, the Church of England’s Very Reverend Rogers Govender was quoted as saying “we do forgive Sony for what they have done, even though they still believe they have done nothing wrong.” The Dean of Manchester Cathedral’s comments came after Sony failed to take home a British Academy Video Game award last night for Resistance: Fall of Man, a game which adopts the cathedral’s likeness as one of its settings. Referring to a supposed traditional code of ethics in the industry, Reverend Govender went on to say that “In so many ways Sony have failed to live up to these standards by disrespecting people of faith and the victims of gun crime here in Manchester.” So yeah, it doesn’t look like the Church will be sending Sony any Christmas cards this year, but on the upside, Manchester Cathedral is apparently doing a booming business among the younger crowd as a result of the controversy.
