Whatever. GTA has been banging on this drum for years already. Get over it, you pricks.

True, but have you heard of anyone getting pissy over Splinter Cell DA?
Well DA did have a few controversial choices but it did manage to pass under the radar somehow. Sam always was the sneaky type

Well that's just the point, isn't it? COD4-2 only gets the attention because it's so high-profile. DA was a smaller release, so it didn't get anywhere near the coverage.

More sales for Australia...
These people are creating a self fulfilling prophecy. I can't help but be reminded of Monty Python
"Some youngsters on the other hand, are attracted to it by its very illegality. It's like murder - make a thing illegal and it acquires a mystique. Look at arson - I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building. I know I have."
lolwut? He's an arsonist?
He's probably a rapist too. We all know how the Pshrinks have linked childhood fire-starting with their development into rapists....
You know, the more "advanced" we get as a world, the more backwards we get ... it's not even funny anymore. It's just one mega-large facepalm every time they open their word processors to write this shit....
Who, seriously, believes half of this crap? Do they even believe it themselves, or is it just an exercise into how many buttons they can press to create howls of derision and/or NIMBYism??
At least the python one was supposed to be funny, the ones in the article... less so
