Trivia / JFK: Reloaded

• Creator Backlash: Creator/director Kirk Ewing doesn't regret the game itself (even after decades of facing harsh backlash, he strongly feels the game has a point to its existence), but he does regret the contest tied to the game's release, where there was a cash prize offering to create as historically accurate an assassination of JFK as possible. In 2022, he lamented that he was naïve, saying "I underestimated the deepness of affection for Kennedy held by many American people. Maybe in Scotland we didn't think through the reaction. Questions about the prize money were always the toughest to answer. It was a marketing trick, but it muddied the discussion that maybe we could have had if it hadn't been there."
