OPS2-UK issue 071

Rockstar, and the team over at Take Two are being hounded by Legal firebrand Jack Thompson, and now the S#x Workers Outreach Project. SWOP

The prostitutes, pimps and porn stars over in the States are none to pleased with the way the game lets you murder innocent hookers for a pocket full of spare change, and they're asking parents and gamers to avoid the game.

"We object to any media which represents sex workers as legitimate targets of violence, rape and murder"

Arguing that it's members may face danger from GTA-playing customers eager to ape their on-screen heroes.

It's incredible how these puritans and errr..... "purity challenged" people continually target Rockstar games. A while ago I heard something about a Jamacian group of some sort had a beef with Rockstar due to how they were portrayed in Vice City

I think it's interesting that the Sex Workers are also targeting parents not to buy Rockstar games for thier children. I honestly don't think it's sunk into many of these groups who are obviously non-gamers that adults play these games. There's far worse portrayed in movies. Bloody puritans and errr morally challenged....
