Facebook drops shooting game demo at conservative event
2018-02-26
[BBC] Facebook has said it regrets promoting a virtual reality shooting game on its stand at a US conservatives' event.

The game allows the player to shoot imaginary weapons against enemies in a public train station.

Facebook said it removed the display at the Conservative Political Action Conference "out of respect" for victims of a recent school shooting in Florida.

"We regret that we failed to do so in the first place," Hugo Barra, the company's head of VR, told the BBC.

One game being played by delegates was Bullet Train, a free title first unveiled in 2015.
