Grand Theft Auto 5: Kmart joins Target in pulling game from sale

[Toggle]

Why can't we all just be sensible about something like this? If you don't like the content of a game that hardly even comes close to relating to the argument your making, why even go against it for 0.00001% of what the game really is? It most certainly has nothing to do with what they argued it should be taken down for, and as far as I know, there are no missions that tell you to commit violence against women at all. It is entirely player choice.

Quoted for the truth. Linking video games to violence has the same level of correlation as whacking off and having your dick fall off. 

 

Wait, you're telling my it's not the reason it fall off ?

 

But i wonder if they will remove GTA IV and all the older ones if they still have them in stock. I mean come on, the game is rated 18+ ( I think), let the adults choose whatever the fuck they wan't.

If it makes them feel any better i equal the amount of male and female killings.

There is no relation between violence and violent games.

Even if no correlation between violence and violent games has been found that does not mean there is no correlation.

So people will download the game and not buy physical copy, who cares

These retailers gonna lose potential profit from gta v sales, not R*

[A.D.A.M]

Their lost. Amazon and other retailers will gladly take up customers that want the game.

I think this is ridiculous. It's mature age digital content, no different to an MA rated movie. If they pull this game, they need to also pull any other mature age content they feel they cant distribute according to the digital laws. Take Gossip Girl and that Kardashian whoring bullshit off the shelves for the love of god if that's the path you are taking.

 

Top parenting tip (from a parent)

1. Don't buy you under age kid digital content that isn't meant for them to consume

2. if they somehow buy it without your knowledge, if you have half a clue of what your kid is up to you'll know they are playing something that is above their age grade and give them a clip behind the ears, find out who sold it to them, return it and give the distributors a serve for selling them mature age content they aren't allowed to.

 

How fucking precious is society, really

 

I am genuinely concerned for the world that my children will be growing up in.

 

My parents bought me GTA III when I was 12, because I asked for it. I am 21 now and still not a psycho serial killer so I can conclude that games, movies, etc rarily affect children.

Minigun dont have no gender preference.

Gtav is misogyny?

I'll take a dozen.

[hal9001]

Didn't they already sell millions of copies?

[thirdworldking]

Oh ffs lets just hope BigW doesn't follow i got gta v next gen the day it came out for $64 steal! so hope people dont have to rely on ebgames prices.

yeah i agree that would suck balls. their prices are ridiculous but there is always jbhifi they are pretty decent

[AdmiralGeneralPauleyD]

Who the hell shops at Target or Kmart in Australia for games any way. Most gamers go to either EB Games, JB HI FI

or Big. Also you only go to Target and Kmart to see mothers clubs judging anyone and everyone.

That's not what I was saying at all, I was saying you cant buy it for your kids and then complain about the content of said game you purchased for them.

 

If you buy it for them and you and they are cool with it no sweat, but I have a feeling that parents are getting this game for their kids and then being 'shocked' by the content and complaining.

Yeah I guess I didn't really get what you were saying, but if you put it that way I am totally at the same opinion!

Parental fails = Every game is the same, nothing to worry about.
