After discovering that sane people are universally disgusted by its foot-tall statue of a mutilated human torso in a bikini, included with the Europe/Australian Dead Island Riptide Zombie Bait Edition, publisher Deep Silver issued an apology today through its Twitter account.

The company said the statue was inspired by the violence in the game: "a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island."

Deep Silver said it "sincerely regret this choice," and that it is "committed to making sure this will never happen again," which is as simple as not doing it again.

What isn't clear, however, is whether it's still happening this time. The apology note makes no mention of pulling or replacing the offending item from the Zombie Bait Edition.Deep Silver apologizes for 'gruesome statue' originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:30:00 EST.
