http://www.nu.nl/news.jsp?n=371843&c=55 another game is removed from the shops after an incident of violence. This time a 17 year old kid killed a 14 year old kid. The computer game Manhunt gets the blame. Again, I'm thinking, I played some of the most cruel games known to man and never even thought of killing someone. If a kid can't see the difference between games, fantasy and reality there's something wrong with the way the kid was raised, or the mental state of that kid in the first place if you ask me.... |

I've thought of killing people many times! I just won't do it 
I don't take any American claim seriously anyway, they blame everything else but themselves for their own stupidity and lack of common sense. |

Isn't there a copyright law lurking around here? People doing in real life what's (supposed to be) done in a game?
What if Konami would have released MGS2 before september 11th, 2001? Would they be able to sue Al-Qaeda (or whatever it's spelled, as the media still has problems getting that standardized) for stealing the idea to do a terrorist attack?
And would Konami have won? |

They can't even FIND El-Qaeda with the combined forces of all the intelligence services in the world, the US Army, Navy and Paratroopers...what are the odds Konami could SUE them compared to that?
