toms Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 if i remember the interview with the parents correctly, they said that the kids were playing it all the time... therefore they knew what it was and they were happy for their kids to play it. Heck, if that is their attitude then it is likely that it was them that bought it for the kids in the first place... so they can't sue the stores... After a week off, it seems even more ludicrous that before that a game had anythign to do with this. Still, at least parents aren't burning violent comic books anymore, or prosecuting brummie rock bands for inciting suicides. They'll go after something else when it arrives. The most dissappoiing thing was that (a) on a 5 news poll about 80% of viewers though such games should be banned (obviously assuming gaming is still a "kiddy" artform, even though the biggest agegroup is now over 25) and (b) loads of big retailers withdrew it from stores... thereby failing to stand up for the industry, implememnting censorship and implying it's guilt. I actually sent an email to dixons (shop chain) complaining about their decision, and surprisingly enough i got a long, polite and fairly detailed response that said (among other things) that they had been contacted by lots of people on both sides of the decision to withdraw it. I still don't agree, but i wasn't expecting them to even read it... I wish rockstar had stood up for themselves and the industry in the media while they had the chance though....

Kain Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Watch the Ron White Comedy Central show called Ron White: They Call Me Tater-Salad. You can buy the DVD too. He sums up my feelings on people like these pretty well. Expand your Imagi-Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
