A letter from The Venezuelan Solidarity Network addressed to U2's Bono, board member of Pandemic/BioWare's venture capital firm, voicing their concern that the realistic nature, and the ability to destroy everything, of Mercs 2 will deepen an already antagonistic relationship between the U.S. and Venezuelan governments. Bioware has already replied by saying this is a only a video game, with fictional characters and storyline, merely in a real life setting, like any modern day movie.
