Talk:Grand Theft Auto IV

Just wanted to explain why I deleted what I did: "The content of this game, however, serves as a bad role model for the teens. How ethical is it to let this popular video game to land upon these tens of thousands of teenagers?"

The first sentence is pretty debatable, and thus not "objective" enough for a Wiki article. As much as I like to side with subjectivity, I think the great examples of controversy that you provide are vocal enough for the side that believes GTA is harmful for young people--of course, the voices on that side and the young people who commit GTA-inspired crimes are missing the point that the GTA series is satirical.

As for the second sentence, I don't think questions--including rhetorical ones--belong in a Wiki article. With rhetorical questions, there's especially too much of a risk towards bias.
