| 1. European Parliament member calls for Mafia II ban |
| 2. Take-Two's response |
Page 2 of 2
Alan Lewis, Take-Two's VP for corporate communications and public affairs, reiterated that the publisher stands behind its products.
"Mafia II tells a compelling story about organized crime in America -- a subject that for decades has been featured in award-winning movies, television shows and novels such as ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Sopranos,’" he said.
"We fully and completely stand behind our creative teams and products, including Mafia II.”
If that sounds familiar, that may be because it's pretty much the exact same response that Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick gave UNICO back in August.
UNICO is an Italian American organization that sought to block Mafia II's release in the United States. Their efforts did not bear fruit, and Mafia II's strong subsequent sales eventually helped Take-Two shares rise during 2010.

Games like GTA and the Call of Duty have been portraying events that are connected to grief on a massive scale for years now, yet when it suddenly became relevant to individuals with the Taliban in Medal of Honor, they were spouting all this BS about how it's insensitive, yet they were only going after that cause specifically and not violent gaming as a whole. Where do they get off suggesting that their sorrows are more real than the rest?
It's like campaigning to fix poverty... for a single child. It's bullshit.

It's already released so a bit stupid trying to ban an old game now.
