In the case of popular video games with significant commercial interest, he has made a decision that was probably influenced by what he felt would appeal to his audience and increase sales. In other words, he felt that strippers would sell better than office workers, in a context of a game about murder. I find that choice somewhat disturbing. What sort of impulses or fantasies is he appealing to? |
Would I be correct in saying that you're not really familiar with GTA, Meadmaker?
Not only is it not a game about murder, but it doesn't portray dead strippers any more than it does dead office workers or mall workers.
It's a open game where you play as a group of criminals.
You can choose to kill anyone in it and that includes mall and office workers.
I'm not surprised that you've been misled about it's content, though.
