As a devotee of vintage kung fu movies, Tameem Antoniades wanted to pay homage to the genre -- and just have some fun -- in making Kung Fu Chaos.
So the last thing the 28-year-old and his colleagues at Just Add Monsters expected to hear was an accusation of racism over the campy Xbox game. "A couple of reviews have raised that, which really kind of hurt us on a personal level because that was not the intention," Antoniades said from Cambridge, England, where the company is based.
"We made this game because we love kung fu movies, and everything in the game is a reference to particular movies that we like. So we were really surprised to see this mention of racism."
