Content for the article HARTFORD, Conn. - The creator of a video that depicts a school shooting game condemned by parents of children who have been killed has lost the ability to sell its merchandise online after being disqualified by PayPal.
Article content Acid Software said on Tuesday that purchases of "Active Shooter" were "temporarily temporarily disabled" as representatives of the company tried to resolve the issues with PayPal. Acid's postings on Twitter and an online bulletin board included the hashtags "QuitCensoringUs," "FreedomOfExpression" and "WeWillBeBack."

Article content "PayPal has an accepted use policy that is well-defined, consistently enforced, and has been in place for a long time. We make sure that our services don't allow the payment of violence-related activities to be accepted," the company, which is based in San Jose California, stated Wednesday.
"Active Shooter" can be described as an SWAT simulator. It allows users to decide if they want to terrorize a school or respond to the shooting. The players can choose between weapons such as a grenade, gun or knife, and civilian and police deaths are listed on the screen. Acid sold an early version of the game online at $20. The company plans to launch a new version within the next month.
Article content Acid recently created two websites for "Active Shooter" after the game was removed from the web pages of video game marketplace Steam and crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The removals came in response to online petitions and complaints from anti-gun violence activists, including parents of children killed in school shootings in Parkland, Florida, where 17 students and staff members were killed in February, and Newtown, Connecticut, where 26 children and staff members were killed in 2012.
The company that hosted the new websites removed them this week after receiving similar complaints. Acid was able to get the sites functioning again by switching to Russian servers, according to Ata Berdyev from Seattle.
Anton Makarevskiy (21-year-old Russian developer) invented "Active Shooter". Acid Software is marketing the game. Berdyev assists Makarevskiy to promote the game.
The statement made on Wednesday by Berdyev stated that the future of the sport could be in the balance.
Berdyev wrote in a note to The Associated Press, "Seems like everybody in the US trying to censor , whilst not explaining exactly what we're doing wrong."
