THQ boss thanks North Korea for “selling” Homefront

Danny Bilson, vice president of video game company THQ, spoke a bit in an interview about the first person shooter game Homefront. Homefront is described as “speculative fiction” describing a near future in which Kim Jong-Un rises to power, annexes South Korea and Japan, and then invades America. Bilson stated of North Korea’s recent warmongering behaviour: “they’ve been really cooperative… we really appreciate the regime in North Korea for supporting Homefront the way they have.”

The trailer for Homefront, if you haven’t seen it already, is below. It references current and “future” actions from North Korea that are becoming scarily close to becoming a reality, which adds to the impact of the game. Homefront comes out in March 2011.
