Lord, Save Me from "Christian" Marketing

An old friend posted this link on Facebook friend and had a few appropriate words about this offering from (drum roll, please) Left Behind Games.  Yes, according to the website of this offering, you too can:
Join the ultimate fight of Good versus Evil, commanding Tribulation Forces, the Global Community Peacekeepers the all new American Militia!

* Combat the Antichrist’s forces on two battle fronts - physical & spiritual warfare: Use the power of prayer and worship to resist spiritual influences and defend against their physical attacks.
* Control more than 40 unit types, each developed with unique attributes and special abilities... and witness Angelic appearances and Demonic battles as a direct result of your choices.
* Command your forces through the streets of New York in one of the most realistic recreations ever seen in a video game - now with improved graphics!
Not only that, there are these great features:
* No online subscription fees for online multiplayer games. Choose to play with up to 7 friends for free!
* Featuring original soundtrack by award-winning composer, Chance Thomas (King Kong, X-Men, Lord of the Rings).
My lone comment to my friend was, "It's being distributed to bless others—combat simulation for those missing the rapture.  (Turning sarcasm mode off)"

That has to be it, right?  There cannot be any other legitimate reason for this to exist.
