    Maybe I’m dating myself but this is the same company that released state of emergency for the PS2? That game you could literally mow down people in a mall with a mini gun?

    They were worried about “the children?” News to me.

      My mum enjoyed the bonus level in the mall where you could just kill like 100 people as fast as you could.

      Her favourite weapon is the flamethrower.

      Her first reaction to the game was “that’s disgusting”, but I let her have a go and suddenly she was toasting a whole crowd and loving every minute of it.

      I mean the whole “ban gta” movement was started by rockstar themselves. They riled up the masses about how dangerous gta is, and it worked. The moms hopped onto the train and the whole movement gained momentum and the made billions.
