Well I didn't say censors ain't needed (just to clarify) but where I live, censors have done some pretty dumb things such as:

Rating Zoo Tycoon M for Mature becuase the animals can apparently die.

Rating The Sims M for Mature becuase it is somehow a 'too realistic representation of life' (I ain't saying that its unrealistic).

And many other things that are too numerous for me to bother saying.

And then, one can argue that censors actually don't protect children but confuse them. In children's cartoons, people fly everywhere, stand up and everyone's happy. If a harmless video game can influence children negatively, then hows that going to affect them. Something that censors havn't thought of.

As for how I think Rockstar should deal with moaners, I reckon they should actually play the game and see that it ain't some brainwashing program, but a clever story and great game concept that should be played by people who can handle it.
