Fahrv says it best so go read that first, but I’m going to add a few more comments to the “This GTA:SA controversy is ridiculous” fire:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a game that lets you:
- “Jack” cars from innocents on the street.
- Run over innocents on the street with little negative consequences.
- Pick up hookers and have sex (displayed as the car bouncing up and down and some voice-overs only).
- Kill people in dozens of different ways, including beating them to death with a large black dildo.
- Assassinate people with bomb placements.
- Run missions that further a black-ops government agency who sells drugs to raise funds for their ops.
- Run a gang war for terroritory, winning by killing enough rival gang members in each one.
For this, the game got a M (Mature 17 years+ rating).
Now it’s been found out that, if you install a file from the Internet (going through several difficult technical hoops if you’re not using the PC version) you can play a “sex minigame”.
Sex.
Murder, theft, illegal government black ops, sex with hookers — that’s all fine.
But have actual consenting adult sex in a not-available-in-the-bought-version game!?!?!? IT’S TIME FOR POLITICIANS TO FREAK OUT AND POINT FINGERS!
It’d be laughable if these morons didn’t actually have power to do something for their ridiculous reasons.
