Drug-dealing GTA Incites Fury from UK Drug Support Group
September 30th, 2008 No Comments Posted in Action, Nintendo DS
Building up the hype train for the upcoming portable version of GTA that will let you sell drugs, British tabloid The Sun published an article Thursday titled “Fury Over Drug Deal Vid Game”.
The article had Darren Gold speaking on behalf of UK support group Drugsline, calling out the game for its “glamorization” of drug-dealing and “substance misuse”.
Ah, but it’s all a video game, right? Right? No one’s listening, and they obviously don’t care.
Rockstar will undoubtedly benefit from the free publicity GTA: Chinatown Wars will get from groups such as this. The game is due out later this year or early next year.
