GTA: San Andreas to be Re-Released Next Week

404Ender writes "According to GameStop and EB, the wildly successful Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will finally be re-released without the controversial "Hot Coffee" content and clean of anything that might demand an AO rating. Will this be the first game in a series of many to come that will be pulled off the market to be changed due to questionable content? How long before a Hot Coffee replacement mod is produced?"

And we wonder about the lawlessness in NO

[Zate]

We produce video games like this and let our kids and young adults play them .. glorifying raping, shooting cops and general mayhem.. and then we are apalled when young adults do these very things in the wake of a major natural disaster.

I'm all about having fun just like the next person, but there comes a time when we have to stop and think, is this REALLY the kind of "fun" we want people to have? We're not doing ourselves any favors by promoting this kind of behavior. Alot of the people playing these kinds of games think its fine to do the things depicted in the game, but once order breaks down in the real world, where do you think they get the inspiration for their actions ? From the influences in their lives. While music, TV and video games continue to "idolise" these kinds of things, our society will be in decay.
