I don't like FPS most of the time or Zombie games for that matter but I would not have the presumption to tell and bully companies about how they market their product. It is ludicrous to me that people think they are somehow justified in doing that.
As consumers it is not our job to regulate marketing, it is our job to choose from the materials presented whether it jives and purchase it. Marketing and ads and promotional materials should be allowed to be grotesque and out of taste if that is a good reflection of the final product.
It comes off more as people who are ashamed of video games and are afraid of any bit of content that falls outside their acceptable taste line. Hey guess what NOT every product is intended for everyone therefore it shouldn't be assumed that every product should be advertised and promoted for everyone. I am sorry to the guy from last week but I would guess no matter how they advertise Assassin's Creed 3 or Battlefield 3 your wife isn't going to to want to play them for reasons deeper than just those ads.
This is just more examples of how the rise of nerd culture makes me want to disengage entirely from it.

Specifically, I don't trust gamers to remain impartial when the offender in question is a game or franchise they either really love or really hate.
