"We all know drunk driving is wrong. That's a given. But the moment you think a piece of artistic material should be changed to reflect the current popular opinion's viewpoint, you step onto a very slippery slope."

see you agree that drunk driving is wrong...so why support its purpose in a game....drunk driving is not art

dealing with the trials and tribulations of an upcoming thug as he quests to find his pplace in the urban society..that can be art

Telling someone what or what is not art is one of the first steps to censorship.

sometimes there needs to be censorship...its not always a bad thing

 

It's always a bad thing.

Who decides what gets censored? Who declares themselves so omnipotent as to believe their line of thought is the only correct one?

Most importantly, what happens when you disagree? 

You know RP, you're talking about censorship being a good thing, with the exception that things shouldn't be censored from you. And i do understand your view. I'd take the same stand unless i'd know that the game is targeted to kids, who, by the way, will buy the most copies. But before saying anything about the drunkdriving, i'd like to know what kind of aspect the game has on it. If it's "not fun", it's perfectly fine to have it in the game.
