Wow that's a bit offensive.
I see what you mean. I recently visited Salem and learned a lot about the history. It was a tragedy. There wasn't a single practicing witch executed, only a bunch of innocent people. The whole thing about torch-wielding witch-hunters bugs me. So, what next? A game about the Holocaust where you have to hide from the Nazis?
Plus, the whole thing sends such a stereotypical message about witches. I know several wiccans, and it's a religion about nature, not anything to do with dark magic or hexes.
On their website they say that they respond to all emails, but that's not true. It's been almost a week now since I emailed them inquiring about their lack of religious sensitivity and they haven't replied.
It's a game guys. A game with fantastical creatures and settings. It's not like they are going for accurate depictions of witches and I'm sure if they did it would be a lot more boring.
