Sony issued an public apology on Friday to the Church of England due to its unpermissive use of the Manchester Cathedral in a violent Resistance: Fall of Man shootout sequence.
After meeting with officials, Sony deemed the matter closed, though the company did not address the Church's demands to both withdraw the game and donate to the Church's educational fund which helps fight gun violence.
Resistance: Fall of Man uses the interior of Manchester Cathedral's nave as the backdrop for a fictional depiction in which hundreds of digital soldiers are killed during a battle inside. Partly due to the controversy, Resistance is the best-selling exclusive PS3 game to date.
