ZippyDSMlee: Boyycotting only works when sheeple care, the masses have to want to care about subtleties, in general they do not thus why corporate gets as far as it does. However boycotting can raise a fuss and the bad PR might make them take note.

AM: @GP: Boycott is unlikely to be effective due to how few people would be aware/participate. That said, I boycott EA over their "3 installs then buy another copy" copy protection, so I can't say it's NOT a good idea.

GryphonOsiris: @Scribe, just read that. The reports are saying that is was a targeted killing. Odds are a bully, gang related or something.

gamepolitics: is a gamer boycott of atari, codemasters, topware and the other 2 UK firms who are extorting file-sharers a good idea?

"In the demo, the player can use the chainsaw to cut a person in half, starting at the groin and moving upwards."
The thing being diced in the game is a MONSTER called a Locsut, which are out to destroy humanity. If humanity is in danger, you can defend yourself with an olive branch all you like, but I'll opt for soemthing more lethal. Also, the enemy race i nthe game isn't real, get over it.
"Also, players can pick up the corpses of fallen enemies and use them as a "meat shield" to protect themself from enemy fire as they engage in battle from behind the corpse."
Oh? Well I've seen a video game where the gunman used a live person as a shield. Oh, wait, that was also the evening news.
