Contoversy over the use of Manchester Cathedral in Resistance: Fall of Man

The use of the Manchester Cathedral in Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man stirred up trouble, as the leaders of the Church of England felt the use of firearms in the cathedral violated the sanctity of the building, in addition to feeling that Insomniac Games and Sony had violated copyright law.

Overview
In the level "The Cathedral" of Resistance: Fall of Man, protagonist Nathan Hale and several British soldiers have to defend their position within the Manchester Cathedral from several Chimera, the game's primary antagonistic faction.

The leaders of the Church of England took issue with the use of firearms in a virtual depiction of the cathedral, specifically due to Manchester's known gun problems, but also due to feeling as though the image of the church had been desecrated. The Church of England made several demands of Sony, including apologies, donations, and having the game pulled from shelves until a modified version could be supplied.
