196. No customers are supporting it now... half the sales were probably to politicians so they
can hold it up and look outraged for the camera...

It's political theater nothing more.

Look if you want to criticize Grand Theft Auto 4 for because people use it to shoot hookers and beat gays with baseball bats (two of the activities that are available to the player) I sympathize.

But promoting a game no-one ever heard of and pretending it is mainstream gaming is outrageous.
