But the game isn't being prevented from being made. That isn't this fight.

What if the game was rape my underage nigger daughter. Would you still be pushing for it to be included? Isn't there some level where you would agree the game should be pulled even if it was initially included? Shouldn't more of this discussion be - why did they include it in the first place?

On the otherside, why aren't they including more construction set games?

Can we agree, the only thing the game has is the controversial content?

Which I do not think was used to make social commentary, parody, etc. It was just used. I would have more respect for the creators if they just said - i made a funny game about the columbine massacre. But this trying to cover their ass by dressing it up as art? As social commentary? And then the knee-jerk reaction that - "In the film world..." Argh! I wish this industry didn't continually feel the need to take cues from other mediums, this game is not elephant and should not be treated like it is.

It is a bad game poorly handling a difficult subject. We need to be able to say that and not think we are condemning all games to not being socially relevant. Bad games can exist without harming good games. We need to get over that hang-up.
