Silent Hill: Downpour cover features Spanish typo
Gathered around a campfire, publishers whisper scary stories to each other, and none is more frightening than The Curse of the Survival Horror Typo.

Kotaku‘s got an image of the Silent Hill: Downpour cover with a typo in the Spanish byline.
It should say “who can stop the rain?” but instead asks the observer “who can stop this Finnish municipality?” Good question; won’t someone think of the children?
This is the second high profile box art typo in the last few months, following on from Resident Evil: Revelations. At least it’s not in the title this time.
Silent Hill: Downpour is out now in the US and arrives in Europe at the end of the month, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Maybe people of the east find it funny to fuck up game covers

I’d imagine european covers for games have had typos for years, god knows most of the translation in european games is probably half assed.
