Truck Simulator: Hauling Hope Raised Controversy
SCS Software studio is famous for many driving simulator games, such as Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Hauling Hope is the latest update of these two popular games. During this event, players will drive trucks containing vaccines for Covid-19 and transport them to places in need.
It's an interesting event inspired by the event Truck At Home introduced last March. During that event, players also go transporting necessities to people during the fight with the Covid-19 pandemic. This event also received many positive reactions from the community of gamers.
However, Hauling Hope is not as successful as its fellow. Moreover, it even raised controversy around its content. In specific, players will have to drive a truck to go transporting the Covid-19 vaccine to people in places of demand. It sounds a good content but in many countries, a lot of people don't want to take vaccine injection because they haven't been aware of the danger of this pandemic.
This event got both support and complaints. People in the anti-vaccine group complained that the game developers were insulting them. Meanwhile, other players think content is great because they and play the role of drivers who are supporting human beings in fighting off the Covid-19 epidemic.
SCS Software studio also explained that they didn't want to cause any critical controversy when launching this event. They introduce this event only in order to horror truck drivers who have been working hard and willing to take the risk of infection to help us eliminate this pandemic.
