Telltale used a photo of a murdered Russian diplomat for its Batman game
Telltale Development Studio this week launched the second episode of second season Batman: The Enemy Within. The episode alone offered some interesting complications, but all of them overshadowed a very amateur move because of which Telltale could get harmed.
Namely, in one of the pictures in the game the actual photo of the killed person was inserted. In the 12th month last year, Russian diplomat Andrei Karlov was killed at the opening of the art gallery, and photo of his corpse Telltale used to portray a crime scene in which two security guards were killed.
Telltale has not yet spoken about this controversy, but surely they're already working on removing the controversial image. It remains to be seen whether the author of the photograph will seek compensation and whether Karlov's family will prosecute Telltale because of this slip.
