It's a pig with lipstick, perfumed dung, etc.
I've never played the GAT games and never will, but in fairness to it, let's assume that as far as gaming technology goes, it does the job and does it well.

That said, the past games have been played strictly to the basest instincts in the male population. Murder, misogyny, and prostitution are glorified. Oh, but this is all for pretend, right? And gambling addictions, illegal drug use, and prostitution are all victimless crimes, right? Try telling that to the victims whose money was stolen to pay for gambling or drug additions or to the women and children who are abused and imprisoned by the pimps.

Don't think for a moment that anyone who plays GAT4 is somehow not morally corrupted in some way by the game. If the developers could lift their content, they could make more money. PG-13 makes more than R.
