Video games are violent. The player's POV is predominantly from behind a gun. Every gamer daily kills more people than an SS Death Squad. No blood. No crime. No murder, however a Bangkok youth supposedly tried to imitate Grand Theft Auto IV by stabbing a taxi driver to death.
"He fought. I fought. He died." The robbery was to support his video habit.
The biggest SE Asia video game publisher has commanded retailers to stop selling the popular video game, which will be replaced by Death Penalty.
Sales of Grand Theft Auto IV have rocketed in fears of the ban.
Good marketing or plain old-fashioned murder?
