syringavulgaris: The city complained about GTA:IV being set in a New-York-alike?
elibalin: We must protect ze chiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllldrrrrrrrrrrrennnn!
syringavulgaris: From what?
elibalin: I have no idea.
elibalin: Most of the complaints, as I understand, came from Staten Island.
syringavulgaris: I think it makes perfect sense. None of us think about it, why should Liberty City?
elibalin: Staten Island is a mob stronghold, and a center of graft, prostitution, and police corruption.
syringavulgaris: Wait, for real, or in games? I'm confused.
elibalin: It also does not appear in GTAIV.
syringavulgaris: Oh, I see. They think that their primary exports are not being correctly represented.
syringavulgaris: Someone else is getting the credit.
