90 MILLION, people, let me say this again.... 90 MILLION DOLLARS. That's a 9 with 0,000,000 zeros after it.




The most fascinating part about this "investigation" is they will pay kids to play these games and observe their behavior. I have played bloody violent games since i was a kid and so have most of my friends. We all agree that GTA sucks compared to the other choices out there.


Friggin' Ninety-Million Dollars! Alright, alright, I'm done, but damn that's a lot of.......

Oh I think there should be age limits obviously (all my cousins 12 only get to watch the game and can't play it), but there shouldn't be censorship or banning game sales.

I'm just curious how watching the game is any different than actually playing it. If its a violet game you're still being exposed to regardless of who holds the control pad.

They're not committing the acts themselves with the controller, so it could be like watching a movie...which still doesn't excuse being exposed to it, but I feel there's less of an effect if you're not playing the role yourself.
