"That was an effort to raise a lot of money for charity, and we were well on our way to raising a lot of money with that tomahawk, but I don't know what will happen with that now," he said.
Goodrich said he was disappointed to be shutting down the tomahawk promotion because it was going to raise money for charity, but said he understood concerns. In the intervening period, Goodrich had blogged several times on the official Medal of Honor website about partnerships with different weapon and equipment manufacturers, including personal photos of him firing guns and talking about how close Medal of Honor Warfighter was to each company.Īll those blogs have now been removed by EA, although the external companies still list the promotions - including SOG, which makes the Voodoo Hawk tomahawk. That piece was written in response to an editorial on The Gameological Society that drew attention to Project Honor.Īlthough the promotion was originally announced in mid-June, it wasn't clear at the time that it involved selling weapons like the Voodoo Hawk tomahawk and modifications that increase gun magazine capacity, as well as flashlights, nylon patches and so on. Goodrich said he was referring to a Eurogamer article earlier this week that raised concerns about the promotion. "The Voodoo Tomahawk has since been removed from our website because of the article," Goodrich told Eurogamer features editor Martin Robinson at Gamescom on Wednesday. EA has responded to concerns about its Project Honor initiative to sell Medal of Honor branded weapons to the public in order to raise money for veterans by removing the promotions from its official website.
