Earlier this year, we reported that the Manchester Cathedral was upset at Sony because a replica of the holy building was used without permission in the hit game Resistance: Fall of Man.
Although Sony has apologized, they refuse to admit any wrong doing, and it seems that it doesn't matter anymore.
"I think some important lessons have been learnt," said the Dean of Manchester, speaking to the BBC. "So we forgive Sony for what they have done, even though they still believe they have done no wrong."
"In an industry that is breaking new frontiers, it is important that long held traditions of film and television are maintained. These traditions include having courtesy, respecting the dignity of your subject, and admitting when mistakes have been made," he added.
"In so many ways Sony have failed to live up to these standards by disrespecting people of faith and the victims of gun crime in Manchester," he finally noted.
In what should not be a surprise to anyone, the Dean also added that visits to the Cathedral had substantially increased since the controversy.
