Either way, it's not a great idea for a game. It's got a pretty limited environment.

Hey kids - beat up teachers

Labour government - not bloody likely!

And how is that worse than GTA?

[Danny252]

Maybe because it involves children?
Maybe it'll involve weapons.. :twisted:

I don't care, all I give is that it's fun.

Well, I can imagine people are more anxious because of the psychological violence involved in bullying. And maybe they're afraid that some children might use it as a how-to guide, because that sort of thing's a lot closer to their world than GTA...

But to be quite honest, I think this is just Rockstar's way of advertising their games: hint that there might be controversial material in the game and then lean back while people keep discussing it. Because obviously the worst that could happen to any company is that their games aren't noticed at all. Controversy is good, though; if nothing else it gets people talking. I'm sure they chose that screenshot for their press release very carefully.

Well, at least they're talented game developers.
The only time I won't play a game because of it's content is if they release some Nazi simulation game.

Unless you're shooting the Nazis of course.

Nobody's disputing that, I think. But it's not exactly a very honourable method of advertising, is it?

[Blood-Pigggy]

Of course not, but it works.

I think is a rather sensitive issue in the UK at the moment as bullying is still relatively high and school violence is on the up. Like that stabbing of that Luke boy last year. Quite a shock to the system..
