Puzzle fans get angry!

Is this worth fighting for?
Australian game developer, Infinite Interactive, has received death threats and a bomb threat after a glitch was discovered in Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.

“The game studio is not accustomed to death threats, chief executive officer Steven Fawkner said this week at Capcom's Captivate 08 event in Las Vegas.

"One death threat in 25 years of game development," he said.

"Puzzle Quest comes out and I had six death threats and one bomb threat."

Fawkner believes that only two were actually serious as most left their email addresses on their threats. Infinite Interactive didn’t report the threats to the police as most of the emails came from the US.
