Developer of Trayvon Martin revenge-fantasy game pulls app from Google Play, iTunes

A controversial video game was voluntarily pulled from the iTunes and Google Play app stores following an outcry from the public, according to Salon.

Developer Trade Digital produced a simple game called Angry Trayvon for Android and iOS that has a hoodie-wearing teenager taking to the streets to get “revenge on the bad guys who terrorize cities every day,” according to the game’s story intro. Check out Fast Company playing Angry Trayvon before it was pulled. The game is clearly based on 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed on Feb. 26, 2012. His accused murderer, George Zimmerman, is on trial now. He claims his actions were in self-defense.
