If you want controversy in Gaming look at the amount of stick Rockstar have to take for every edition of GTA, Manhunter, The Warriors etc...

All I can say is its the reason why games and films are rated. Some films are the same, its a story, its not real, its fiction. NOT fact. Its about escapism. Remeber different cultures will view things in different ways, this goes for regilion too.

Its those who feel they should judge and not accept things as they are. Whether it is moral or not is a question for someone else, as long as it entertains and is rated correctly. People moan about contents of films and games, but if a parent is daft enough to expose there children to it, who is to blaim. Those who make and distribute the game or film or those who allow the people in their charge or care to view something they shouldn't?

Its all about the blaim culture. This goes for the use of Sex, Drugs, violence or language in any industry. Take blaim, for you actions, if you are worng then your wrong. This means consumers, developers and those who distribute.
