Dog Wars Android Game

[raz]

Very good point Raz, our work is not done yet!

You're a bit of a techy arent you, Mutta? How often do these games get reported - I think that particular one seems much more outrageous in the greater scheme of things but it's probably long gone by now.

Has been pulled from Android Game site

still doesnt mean that it wont be able to be bought on the Black Market / Pirate copies like so many nasty games

Fantastic news!!!

At least it is not on a mainstream supplier now. This is a win.

Maybe we should turn our attentions to some of the other morally abhorent games out there now.

I think I really want it now just because it's gone.

Is it really a win that google removed it from the game site? if someone wants it, they'll still be able to get it. And gee it's certainly getting lots of free publicity, isnt it.

Apparently it's not dead and buried yet.

Won the battle but not the war I guess. It is at least something. It will be harded to get without a distributor. The makers of the games will have to find someone else to host/distribute the game now.

Apparently they tweeted that it would be back shortly.

Well that's the problem, isnt it. I've spent 2 days chatting (read disagreeing ) with my husband about this and we discussed why they dont just bring R rating in for violent games. I think it's bloody dreadful that the christian right wingers are against it and would prefer certain games just get banned outright if they need anything over MA rating. People just go and find them elsewhere. Isnt it better to rate them rather than send them underground?

I'm still grappling with this whole issue

Marketing ploy, perhaps? It's certainly got my interest now that it's been discussed on here (not that I'd buy it but I've read a banned book just because it was banned and watched a banned movie for the same reason)

I dunno Raz. I don't think we'll ever get rid of things like this - even outrage and opposition gives them much wanted publicity and of course, sparks interest so people are bound to have a look or try to find out more. Same thing with R ratings - I totally agree with blocking it for general access but it again flags it as something that isn't necessarily nice or good and sparks interest............

Sigh......

Yeah Yeah - ban it and it self markets itself, give an R rating and it will as well. I dont know what the answer is, Conz. I still dont understand why people reported it, though - it just makes it more popular. Do the people on here who reported it have an android phone? I'm not sure if that would make a difference at all - just tossing around ideas.

Yeah - I dunno either. I don't think I've ever reported anything. If I don't like it or agree with it, I'll say so and that's it. I'm not "the law" so if what they're doing is legal, no matter how offensive, there's not much I can do although I must agree that drawing attention to it is probably not the best way to go. I think people used to care what others thought about them and had a little morality with such things but that's kinda gone out the window......if it makes money and gains attention, it's all good.

I think you've nailed it.
