Hey, you know who else made hyperbolic comparisons?

That's a bloody stupid comic.

He's technically correct: just because the Nazis did something doesn't necessarily make it bad. That said, taking a product off the shelves like this has the same effect as burning it, so in a very real sense, Grand Theft Auto V is getting 'rubbed out' by the Australian government. That's bad, and not just because the Nazis did it.
There is no plague more evil and vile to watch spread than the plague that is the Von Habsburg dynasty.

The government didn't do anything. A corporation decided entirely on their own to stop selling the game. You're still perfectly able to get it in stores that aren't K-Mart or Target.

Ah, my mistake. I didn't read the story sufficiently well.

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE.

Also, I'm going to be somewhat uninterested unless they do a different mythology. How FUCKING MANLY would Kratos wielding say, Sharur or Amenonuhoko, be?

Kratos just takes on EVERY mythology, at that point.  Goes and offs the Roman gods, shows Yahweh who's boss, kicks Ahura Mazda in the testicles, and it all culminates in an epic battle against Surtur during Ragnarok.

On another note, that was some impressive trolling by Square Enix yesterday. Announcing FFVII for the PS4... but a simple port of the PC re-release. Oh hoho. Funny guys.

(FFVII is overrated anyway. So damn overrated. And Aerith was annoying as anything)

Maybe we could see some more obscure mythologies in there.
