Yesterday, Far Cry 4’s creative director Alex Hutchinson addressed the controversy surrounding the game’s box art. Namely, that its depiction of a ‘blond white man’ (who, as Hutchinson pointed out, isn’t actually white) asserting what appeared to be aggressive dominance over a darker skinned man, was racist.
My colleague Colin Moriarty has already written a thoughtful piece on the reaction to the box art. He has many valid points, and I couldn’t agree more with his assertion that “games have an incredible amount of power.” I also - somewhat irreverently - share his personal reactions to the art, in that I found it intriguing and was initially surprised that others saw it differently.
