  Grand Theft Auto IV has guns, prostitutes and many other illegal activities yet parents still buy it for their children, but as soon as drugs are involved in a game, it's a no-go.

  eh?? There's a hell of alot more controversy surrounding the themes in GTA IV than there is surrounding Haze. I don't think parents would be keen on allowing their childres to buy either.

  That was the point I was trying to emphasize.

  From what I've heard about Haze, it sounds like giving it to your son or daughter could constitute child abuse.

    _{Yea right, I would think GTA 4 would be far far worse
    Its just idiotic parents not buying a game that isn't even on par to drugs use to another, yet they buy the more controversial one. Yeah that makes plenty of sense.}

  Meh, the game also shows (I think) the dangers of taking drugs. How you don't see things the way they should be seen, and that it numbs your compassion, or some such.

  I don't think its a big deal. My parents wouldn't care at all.

  I think Haze's suckiness has something to do with it.

    I cant help but feel bad that Haze is getting bashed like this. This game was the work of a group of people who didnt try to make a Halo killer or anything and never claimed it was going to, yet it got hyped, and it was cut at the knees when it was forced to stand up.

      Just because they "didnt try to make a Halo killer" doesn't mean they didn't make a bad game either.
      
      
      Good games are good regardless of they hype. Just like bad games are bad regardless of the hype.

  It's not like drug use is a new thing in games anyway. Why is HAze in particular such a big deal?

  It's also not like he's sitting at home shooting up on a couch. He's part of an industry that uses a 'stimulant', which, to all intents and purposes, is still a drug. It's just cleverly disguised for the theme of the game.
  
  But promoting drug abuse is taking it a bit far.
