RE: Forums aflame over 'Grand Theft Auto IV' freeze

To anyone who cares my comments in Porn for sadists are not meant as a condemnation of adults who buy this game. Nor am I some bible thumping prude. I let my kids play (when I am there) games that are pretty violent to some standards like Dead Rising and Medal of Honor. I myself watch adult shows like Nip Tuck, the Shield and others not meant for kids. My whole point in this is that this game no matter how fun pushes the limits of what should be acceptible. Do I think it is going to cause a bunch of mindless killers and my sons are going to become thugs. Heck no. Why should I have to work twice as hard to undue what crappy parents do. You cant tell me that when 30% of 360 and ps2 and 3 players are under 17 Rockstar isnt targeting them. They may say "this game is not meant for kids" but like cigarette companies they and all the major retailers promote it like just another game. You dont see Walmart or Best buy putting it in a paper wrapper, they are pushing it just the same. My arguments are fruitless and we have to agree to disagree because gamers dont read the comments they just see it as a threat to their gaming or feel guilty. What gets me going is when the best response I get is "Dude its just a game and like don't blame me"
