This will count as yet another hit for game developer [Only registered users can see links. ]. Will [Only registered users can see links. ] reject any of the company's upcoming games as well? If so, how well will Take-Two cope with its seemingly unending crisis? Only time will tell.

For me when I read things like this, it just makes me want to buy a game like this and get it anyway I can. Not only are they going to lose on honest sales but the pirating of this game I am sure will be tremendous. So here we are governments are deeming something to violent for the masses, people who are of proper age to make their own decisions.

That scares me.
