People have massive paranoid reactions when a game is coming out that is "too shocking". It happened in England with Manhunt 2, where the BBFC tried to ban it. Their case for doing so was pathetically weak, and I'm almost certain it was just them being scared of the title of the game. The first Manhunt was incorrectly reported as a factor in a murder. Even though it had nothing to do with it, the BBFC were obviously shit scared. I've heard other scenes in games being pulled for being too violent, or too close to reality. I think it's all ridiculous. This perceived harm is all in their heads. It's only psychos who would take inspiration from it.
