microsoft just wanne get polish costumers
and in polska many people are a bit racist(specially towards german people)
and if you see a black person in polska you can almost be sure its the last time today unless its the same person
cause most of the people are polish(over 95%) or other middel/east erupean(rest till around 99.5%)
so its just adjustedto the local circumstances
teh asian guy hasnt been photoshoped cause the biggest group (or the only real group cause others are to small) of noneuropean are vietnamnees
in the usa this photoshop may be kind of racist but its very possible in polska most dont care or prefer the photoshoped one

Hand tan ftw.


@Jonny - if they wanted to appeal to Polish customers without offending their American customers, then they could have re-shot the scene with different people. Or had a slightly different scene, so it wasn't so obvious.

What they were trying to do here is just cut a bunch of corners. I don't think anyone in Poland would be motivated to buy business software by a black guy with a white guy's head sticking out of his shoulders at an odd angle. Unless he was like, 'Buy my software or I'll eat your braaaaiiiiiinnnnssss!'.

OMG Russ!! Don't haunt me with bad memories!

This was really, REALLY terribly that such an amazing game had this done to it.

Also, I like the Microsoft add, it appeals to multi-cultural, Frankenstein creators! Truer racial diversity has never been achieved before.

I totally keep forgetting about that game, it's on my must-buy list but I never remember it when I'm shopping.
