据techcrunch报道，Zynga旗下的头号热门游戏《CityVille》最近进行了一些小调整，玩家之前购买的类似于乡村小教，但不带十字架及宗教标志的“婚礼教堂”（Wedding Chapels），现在被替换成了一个更世俗和缺乏特征的“结婚礼堂”（Wedding Hall），这件虚拟物品带有两个戒指环的标志，看上去不禁让人联想到麦当劳的“M”。

游戏邦获悉，媒体曾向Zynga询问这一改变是否因原先的设计遭遇用户不满，或是其他原因而做出这种调整，但Zynga目前仍未做出回应。有人认为，Zynga其实还可以添加其他宗教标志，让用户自主选择教堂风格。

不过，用户之前购买的“婚礼教堂”仍将保持原状，只是名称已更改为“结婚礼堂”，这一点有可能是为了向用户好友访问该城市提供便利。

据游戏邦了解，techcrunch记者还向Zynga发问，是否会为了照顾 P.E.T.A（善待动物组织）而将农场及宠物、动物从旗下各种游戏中移除，或者为了满足推崇原生态的《FarmVille》玩家的喜好，而为该游戏提供非转基因和无农药的庄稼。但目前为止，Zynga方面依旧保持缄默。

《CityVille》的这个游戏设置小变动，引起了不少玩家的猜测和议论，不少人认为些举似乎过于敏感，因为原先的教堂设计并无不妥，更何况Zynga这一路走来已经历了不少风风雨雨，但仍稳居社交游戏之王的宝座。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

The Separation of Church And Zynga: Wedding Chapels Stripped From CityVille

Zynga made a small but fascinating change to its young-yet-ubiquitous game CityVille over the weekend. Players could previously buy “Wedding Chapels,” which looked like small country churches but without a cross or other religious symbols, to add to their city. But the virtual item has been removed and replaced with the more secular and nondescript “Wedding Hall.” With two gold ring things that somehow makes me think only of McDonalds.

Err, ok.

I asked Zynga if this was in response to complaints, or otherwise why they did this. No comment from them so far. They could, of course, simply add other icons for other religions, and let people choose.

But perhaps even that would be too insensitive. Players who had previously purchased the Wedding Chapel still have it, but it’s also been renamed to “Wedding Hall.” Presumably friends visiting the city might get offended.

I also asked Zynga if they plan to remove farm and pet animals from their various games to please P.E.T.A, or offer non-genetically modified and pesticide-free crops for Organic-loving FarmVille players. Again, no word back from them.

I don’t know why this bothers me so much, since I’m not very religious myself. But it just seems so artificially politically correct. The company has come a long way since the rough and tumble Scamville days, it seems.（source:techcrunch）
