ABU DHABI (WKZO) -- Holland Native Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater Security, is turning the trade name into a video game. The last we heard from Prince, he was headed to Abu Dhabi to create a private army of mercenaries for the United Arab Emirates, presumably to keep the “Arab Spring” uprisings from spreading to the U.A.E.
Now Prince has apparently worked with X-box to collaborate on a video game, which puts a group of Blackwater operatives, armed with conventional real world weapons in a virtual hostile situation.
A lawyer for the families of 17 Iraqi citizens allegedly gunned down by Blackwater operatives calls the game “terribly offensive”. Prince credits his father, Auto Parts Executive Edgar Prince for showing him how to take advantage of the opportunities America offers.
