Rockstar sues the Chicago Transit Authority…

Well here’s something you don’t see everyday. According to the [Reuters article], Rockstar is suing the Chicago transit Authority for pulling GTA4 bus ads down early.
Hmmm, looks like Rockstar is pissed that Titan Outdoor LLC violated it’s $300,000 contract by not running the GTA 4 posters for the full time of the contract. However, the juicy bit here is that is seems the ads where pulled after a FOX News affiliate asked why the ads where being allowed to run after the wave of violent crimes in the Chicago area.
Now I’m let wondering, when do we follow what a news affiliate says?! it’s already been proven that gaming does NOT make you violent, as long as the ads are/were still using the stylized cartoonish look then who cares?
it’s just a game people, the movies SAW and Hostel had SO MUCH more violence and graphic violence then GTA, yet no one bitched about those movies.
Does it really matter that you are watching a movie VS directing it?
