This is outrageous and disgusting. What were the developers thinking of? So ok, they apologise but what was going through their minds in the first place. Surely they must have known that this would cause some upset and anger particular with the parents of James Bulger. This wasn’t just one person developing this game.. it’s gone through teams of people before it hit the shelves. Publishers, testers etc.. did not one person think “Hey, hang on a minute”? I’m baffled.

Games enthusiast for years have been defending that video games aren’t directly responsible for mindless acts of crime and extreme violence yet this only fuels the debate in favour of those who claim they do.

The reason I play video games is that the experience takes me to a fictional place away from reality knowing that no one will be hurt. Legacy have obviously felt they needed to push a few boundaries when in fact they’ve crossed the line.
