In a video game titled “Shin Megami Tensei”, several Hindu deities have been portrayed as demons. The game was developed by Atlus, which is a subsidiary of Sega Sammy Group.

Sega Sammy Group, established 2004 and headquartered in Tokyo, is a “group of comprehensive entertainment companies” whose mission is “Constantly Creating, Forever Captivating—Making Life More Colorful”. Atlus claims to deliver “unforgettable, story-driven gameplay experiences”. “Shin Megami Tensei” is a notable franchise of Atlus.

The group claimed to be “Living up to society’s ethical and public expectations”, yet boldly insulted the oldest religion in the world.
