Crytek executive Cevat Yerli has said that Europeans view f💃irst-person shooter games as "evil," according to Forbes.

The developer was cited in 𒅌an article addressing 🅷the differences between American and European gamer habits.

According to the piece, Europeans prefer racing and 'soꦍccer' games to blockbuster action, adventure and shooters.

"Guns and gore also don't sell as well in Europe because Europeans like short, so-called casual games, rather than the long, epic tales that keep gamers pounding on their consoles♑ for hours at a stretch," the article states.

Those from the 'old wo🅷rld' are also using outdated technology. "Since Europeans tend to be casual gamers, o🐲lder versions of consoles sell well there," it adds.

We're not just whether to be more incensed at Crytek's gross generalisation (no doubt an out of context quote regarding the German censorship laws) or the paper's assumption that✃ we all think Halo is rubbish because Brain Training sold well.
