The game Super Columbine Massacre RPG! was announced as a finalist in late November 2006, but the controversial game was dropped by Slamdance founder Peter Baxter with no outside pressure as initially reported.[69] In response to this 6 other finalists withdrew from the competition in protest, Jonathan Blow withdrew Braid,[70] thatgamecompany withdrew flOw,[70] Waking Games withdrew Once Upon a Time,[71] the developers for Toblo withdrew their game (however, on January 16 the college which they attend, the DigiPen Institute of Technology against their wishes "overwrote our decision and readmitted Toblo to the Slamdance Festival", because the developers did not consult the college prior to their withdrawal decision),[72] Queasy Games withdrew Everyday Shooter,[73] Nick Montfort withdrew Book and Volume,[74] and The Behemoth withdrew Castle Crashers.[75] The University of Southern California has also withdrawn its sponsorship of Slamdance over this controversy.[76]
