The removal of a video game where players shoot 'zombies' in the Tenderloin has left many feeling relieved, but the question remains: what message does this game send about the city's most vulnerable residents? The game, 'Tenderloin Night Shift,' was taken offline after backlash from San Francisco leaders who deemed the depiction of the neighborhood as a zombie-infested zone 'gross.' The game's creator shut it down, but not before a tech founder claimed to have made $300 from it.
San Francisco's Tenderloin is a neighborhood known for its high concentration of homeless individuals, and critics accuse the game's creator of exploiting homelessness for profit.
