Default Another GTA:VC Lawsuit Announced

Yet another Lawsuit has been brought against Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, blaming the game for a recent hommicide.

Family members of three victims of a shooting by a 14-year-old have filed a $600 million lawsuit against the makers of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. From the article: 'The $600 million lawsuit names several companies and Cody Posey, who it alleges played the game ''obsessively'' for several months before he shot his father, stepmother and stepsister in July 2004 ... The plaintiffs accuse the corporate defendants -- Sony Corporation of America, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and its subsidiary, Rockstar Games -- of a civil conspiracy, saying they should have foreseen their entertainment would spawn such copycat violence.

Where is parental responsibility these days? Parents are very quick to allow their teens to purchase such games, or to turn a blind eye to their activities and yet lightning quick to assign blame when their "innocent" teen pulls the pin on a grenade in a lunchroom. These suits are getting rediculous.
