EA removes gun shop links from Medal of Honor site
EA removes gun shop links from Medal of Honor site
Links to browse and buy real weapons featured in popular war-based video game Medal of Honor have been removed from the title's website.
It followed pressure from groups suggesting that video games were responsible for inciting real-world violence.
A representative for publisher EA said: "We felt it was inappropriate and took the links down."
Company logos, and descriptions of the weapons, remain on the game's website.
In the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, video game makers were criticised by influential US lobby group the National Rifle Association.
