Is organised not correct in English spelling?

I am not sure if the bug report was the joke or the response was a joke or the fix was a joke.  I find it funny tho.

It can be spelled with an s or z depending, so technically since this is a UK based game and the programers are also British, you could say it is correct.  :-) 

For more reference:  

the spelling difference also applies to the past tense form of the verb organise or organize. In British English, “organised” is standard, unless you follow Oxford style guidelines. In that case, you should use “organized.” In American English, “organized” is correct.

I was aware.  I guess that is why I find it funny.  Also, curious about the fix.  Perhaps I should post a big report about defense being spelled incorrectly.

Cool, cool.  :D 

We spell it on this side of the pond with a Z.   hmmm defenze?  🤪.  Joking....  Have a great day!   

How about the option to choose GB or US spellings so it can be correct for everyone?

I'm not sure what's funny here. Organized is the standard American English spelling, and all of this game's spelling is (supposed to be) American English. Defense is also the American English spelling, so it's not incorrect.

Torn adopted American English as it's standard spelling over a 6 years ago, so I'm surprised you're only seeing this now.

Thank you for the information about Torn adopting American English.  I did not know that.

I am comfortable in both American and English spelling.  I also frequently spell words with my own unique twists.  Always a horrible speller and really it has only gotten much worse.  I find it funny because although technically an error and inconsistent with Torn's policies I think phrasing the error as a spelling error can be interpreted as American entitlement along the lines of Trump's plans to turn Canada into the 51st state and rename the Gulf of Mexico.   I also think the response "that's fixed," is humorous coming from a guy who lives in, I think, in the UK. 

I am reading a bunch in but basically my story is that an entitled American didn't realize that that there are two ways to spell a word and kindly pointed that out not realizing how entitled that made them sound and the kindly British guy, instead of bothering to educate the masses just quickly changed it so as to not risk annexation by the American overlords. 

None of that may be true, and the funny part is all in my head.
